I never paid money for dog or cat formula, but the puppies and kittens somehow survived.
P.S.
The invention of infant formula happened during the year 1865 by German scientist Justus von Liebig. He developed infant formula consisting of cow’s milk, potassium bicarbonate, malt flour, and wheat. The first infant formula was patented as well as marketed as baby food. The first form of this formula was in the form of liquid, which later became powder as that made preservation of it possible.
What chemical/ingredient, that is used in baby formula, is in short supply?
This should make for great videos of the usual suspects.
Invented by a German, popularized by the feminist movement...
But - as to your equivalence to dogs and cats... my wife tried desperately to breastfeed our daughters - thankfully she was able to produce enough as a supplement for our first who was born prematurely. But our second daughter was a miserable and depressing failure for my wife. We tried everything... thankful for quality formula...
Doesn’t matter - it’s all a human-engineered fake supply chain interruption.
More dazzling results from our failed leadership in DC.
Every day that goes by, the tragedy of the stolen 2020 election becomes as clear as it is stark.
We’re heading to dark a dark place at terminal velocity.
I guess there are some women who can not produce sufficient amounts of breast milk. I have a four month old grandson and my daughter over produces. She freezes it and donates it to a local breast milk bank.
Oh, no doubt.
I’d just like them to specify what is in ‘short’ supply, for baby formula.
Call their bluff, maybe.
She could name a price, soon, perhaps!
I wonder if these moms have even thought about/have a clue about the breastmilk banks.
Oh no, the soy supply is threatened??!!
My sympathies for your edge case, and I am glad you could get get powdered substitute.
I suspect that if some powdered substitute did not exist there would be an industry providing some kind of natural substitute maybe?
Some kind of Supply and Demand profit thing I guess

These shortages had rationing in Walmart and Costco over 6 months ago. Saw this coming and have 9 months stored up for grand baby 4 in a couple weeks.
Yeah no women actually feed a baby breast milk anymore.
Our moms could do that and they didn’t have to make a public spectacle out of it either.
I agree - but the vast majority of supposed “supply chain” issues I’ve run down... have been amazingly all from China... China has the entire world by the short-hairs. Globalization really meant giving China the keys to the kingdom. One would be very hard pressed to find any manufactured product that isn’t in some way at least part from China - from microchips to chemical components, to medications - the world literally handed it all over to China.

Hopefully, she wouldn’t. One thing for sure, in the coming days it might be bartered for food for the other three kids. It is absolute madness that here we are, in the United States, discussing a real conceivable threat of starvation in middle class America.
Yep....exactly why Trump wanted everything Bush/Clinton/Bush/0bama sent to ChyNah, to come back here, for manufacturing.
Our most vital need, for some....medication....is practically ALL MIC...not to mention electronic components.
What an insane business/sustainability *plan* we’ve got.
Pretty bad when baby formula ingredients are likely MIC.
Gross.
People demand their dog food be made ENTIRELY in the USA (rightly so), but don’t even question where components/ingredients for baby formula come from?
Oh, and....then there is the pork and beef, and who knows what other of our foods, processed there.
Roundup
It is absolute madness that here we are, in the United States, discussing a real conceivable threat of starvation in middle class America.
Yes, it is....absolute madness.
In this country.
