You realize it's usually scum bags stealing the formula to resell it, not feed their starving child. Fuck outta here. You have to be a troll. No one is this stupid.

As a parent with a young kid, and someone who knows many parents with young kids. This is the first I've ever heard of the nefarious baby formula black market.

4.3 billion in stolen baby formula in 1 year is a serious problem, it's not from poor parents who can't feed their kids

That says sold, not stolen.
Sorry, read it wrong but it's a massive industry. It's not locked up due to people trying to feed their kids, there's legit rings that go around stealing it. Here's the full article, it's only gotten worse since then

Baby formula is available to people who can’t afford to buy it without stealing it and without paperwork, if you’re at a point where you’re too fucked up to figure that out your kid ain’t gonna make it either way.

The visual of seeing a food item for infants behind a screen like that is jarring but it’s not the responsibility of a retailer to provide it for free.

Or maybe get the government to start enforcing laws already on the books & punishing theft again?
Its always been high on the theft scale actually.

The people that steal babyfood are the same ones that leave diapers in parking lots and the same people that lose their children to the streets or the system, yet somehow always have cellphones, giant TVs, and cigarettes.
I'd say that maybe 1% of people that steal formula are actually in a no other option scenario and of that 1% it's 90% that painted themselves into that corner.
Very little sympathy when help in those situations is literally just an ask away.

"Doctors recommend not giving your child homemade formula"

Entire generations were raised on it to no ill effect.

You are making excuses for criminals.

Doctors have lost credibility, my aunt is a M.D. and she tells me not to trust half the shit "medical professionals" try to sell you. She went as far as selling her practice and getting into palliative care to get away from the racket

Same way they used to tell us eggs were bad and milk caused cancer.

11 servings of grain a day!

Red meat and butter are terrible for you!

Buy margarine instead!

4 out of 5 docs smoke Camels!

It's fucking Karo formula. Tried and tested. Hurt nobody.
