This is a problem.

We need to be focused on this instead of Ukraine or back burner race/sex/gender wedge issues that get thrown at us and amplified by the media.

Infant Children Hospitalized After Parents Cannot Find Enough Baby Formula Amid Nationwide Shortages

quote:

Parents and doctors in Memphis hospitalized two sick children after they could not find the right baby formula on the store shelves.

Two children have been hospitalized in Tennessee after their parents could not find a specific type of formula amid a nationwide shortage.

Both children have intestinal disorders that make it difficult for them to absorb nutrients. They were treated at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis after their bodies couldn’t tolerate an alternate type of formula, according to Fox13 Memphis.

One of the children was released Tuesday.

This would not be happening if President Trump was in charge.

A lot of babies that were born premature would not survive without formula.

I don't know why FedGov seems to be prioritizing superficial issues over this. It's the FDA's own red tape that's keeping Abbott's Michigan production facility closed.

Foolishness, money won't launder itself. Dead babies are collateral damage, and keep the stocks up on stem cells for the elite since Abortion is on shaky ground. How is Jennifer Aniston going to keep looking so young without those fresh baby cells?

Why downvote this?! It’s as close to a fact as something like this could be.

They were granted approval to re-open earlier this week. Of course it will take some time to get it back up and running.

Hate him or not, you have to admit he never would have let a baby formula shortage happen. If you disagree with that, you’re a fricking idiot and I’m gonna kick your pussy pansy liberal arse.

the frustrating thing is that this has been out there for months now. Costco has been limiting how many you can buy for some time.

Media went on an absolute blitz over the last week and caused a ton of panic buying.

Assuredly. I doubt the problems would be half as bad if they even existed.

I wish there was a shortage of worthless politicians (redundant I know) in D.C instead

Between this and canceling a bunch of huge oil/gas lease sales immediately after taking office due to the global warming "crisis".....I'm done with this administration.

My son had a severe dairy allergy and couldn’t drink breast milk because no matter how strict my wife was with her diet, the dairy and soy proteins still ended up in her breast milk. We had to switch him to dairy-free formula. That didn’t work. We tried and tried and nothing worked until our pediatrician gave us a sample of Puramino. That did the trick, except it was $45 a can. Those were small cans. We were spending close to $1,000 a MONTH on this shite. He would not have lived if we hadn’t had access to that formula. I genuinely feel for parents in a similar situation with this shortage today.

frick Joe Biden and every democrat. And every one of you who voted for them. That’s right, frick YOU. You got a problem with that I’ll be glad to meet you at Sonic. You’re the reason for all the shite we are in today.

He got a bunch of career bureaucrats at the FDA to accelerate/compress the approval timeline for those Covid vaccines.

If the FDA was holding up production at a critical baby formula production facility, you can bet your arse he'd get involved. He might not be able to instantly resolve it, but he'd at least consider it a priority and try.

CNBC: "Bill Gates' climate-change investment firm bets on lab-produced breast milk"

Now, the pipeline of alt-food companies includes Biomilq, a North Carolina-based start-up that's targeting infant nutrition by attempting to reproduce mother's breast milk in a lab.

While that may seem like a moon shot, Biomilq has just earned the backing of the world's top investors, raising $3.5 million in Series A funding from Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Bill Gates' investment firm focused on climate change.

Breakthough Ventures' investing coalition includes Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Richard Branson, Masayoshi Son, Jack Ma, Michael Bloomberg and Marc Benioff.

Biomilq co-founder and CEO Michelle Egger is a food scientist who worked on the Larabar at General Mills before moving onto business school and a stint at the Gates Foundation. She and her co-founder, CSO Leila Strickland, hope that the breast milk produced by Biomilq from culturing mammary epithelial cells will help reduce the carbon footprint from the global infant formula market, which Fortune Business Insights says will surpass $103 billion by 2026. The top infant formula manufacturers include Abbott Labs, Danone and Nestle.

"Right now, by the estimations we have been able to make, at least 10% of the dairy market globally ends up in infant formula," Eggers said. "That means per-infant-fed formula in the U.S., 5,700 metric tons of CO2 are produced, and 4,300 gallons of freshwater are consumed each year to feed a child. Parents want to do what's best for their kids but shouldn't have to decide between feeding their children and protecting the planet."

"We can provide better nutrition for the 84% of babies in the U.S. who are switched to formula either partially or exclusively in the first six months of life and reduce the impacts of animal agriculture on our Earth," Strickland said.

You'd be sucking a liquid diet out of a baby bottle for months after I hit your goatee with my footlong.
