I am happy to say that a shortage of baby formula will not, nor would not, effect my immediate family. I understand that it has become the norm but understand that “baby formula” did not exist before the advent of women going to work to subsidize the dream of affluence.
To my knowledge my children never tasted any kind of baby formula. As far as I know my grandchildren are the same. Of course that meant that we bought used cars and often shopped in thrift stores but those were trade-off we were willing to accept.
I remember reading or hearing the theory that the American Indians were defeated the day they accepted their first steel knife. They gave up their independence and eventually came to depend on modern technology that they could not duplicate. Maybe we can say the same for the mothers of America, and the world.
I have not done a search but there might be some place on the web where they will tell you the ingredients for making you own baby formula. I assume that most families depending on commercial substitutes are past the time where nursing is an option.
One of the tangents my mind takes is how modern Proregressives* are all for killing babies in the womb and this is just a back up plan. No, I don’t actually think they are that clever.

Apparently the FDA has warned folks against making your own baby formula. I guess it's better to let the child starve? Good grief.
