That is all.
EDIT: Boy, did this get lively. And we have a new term here: "Mom shaming."
Interesting how all these people interpret the question in the title their own way, one that has nothing to do with this simple question, nor its intent.
Is all the formula sold for babies whose mothers can't breastfeed? No. Has baby formula been around the 150,000 years that Homo sapiens has been around? No. There's a fundamental problem here.
We humans need to be free. Free from large corporations. Free from government. If babies are dependent on large corporations and "supply chains," there is something seriously wrong.
The globalists created a fake "women's rights" movement to get women out of the home into fake careers so they could control and tax them. It is at that point that so many children stopped being breastfed. For 150,000 years it was totally normal for mothers to breastfeed their babies, then suddenly not? Seriously question this.
So then a manufactured shortage of baby formula causes complete chaos.
You are being manipulated, folks.
Some mothers physically cannot breastfeed. Is the answer to that to make those mothers dependent on corporate supply chains? Isn't there a better way to handle this? Shouldn't this be something produced on a household or local level?
Lots of the discussion below sounds like a pack of Wokes. It is based on emotion, not logical thought. Playing victim is never the answer. Finding practical, local solutions not dependent on the globalists is.
Here is a quote from the comments: "It's pretty easy for a man or non-mother woman to talk about breasts." Why does this writer assume that's who is writing this post? And "Mom shaming"?
"great number" is a HUGE exaggeration, and although your NICU experience is tragic, it's also an giant outlier.
The vast majority of women don't end up with babies in the NICU and the vast majority of women can breast feed just fine.
They simply chose a career over their kids and dropped them off at the dontcare with bottles of fake milk.
I do believe it was OPs intention to touch upon the cultural factors that lead to opting for formula, versus physiological ones. Although before we jump to "choosing a career over their kids", we must first reconcile:
That is by far the larger elephant in the room, not the more visible, corporate climber Karen archetype of suburbia we as a demographic are more exposed to.
Completely agreed that the single mother situation is the elephant in the room. Whether you're a Karen corporate climber, which my office is FULL of, or a single mother, the root cause still points back to mothers in both cases.
Women control access to sex, and thereby control male behavior. If women are wanton whores, and throw their sex around freely, then they create, through their actions, men of low quality.
Men, in general, will take sex however they can get it. If women put sex behind strict rules of monogamy and commitment, then men will alter their behavior in order to have access to sex. Men will become monogamous and committed family men in order to reach the vagina grail.
If women flop over and go legs up for any swinging dong that passes by, then men will take the no-commitment sex that leads to single mothers. So both the corporate climbers and the single mothers are leading to the failure of western civilization.
Women, on their own, could almost completely fix western civilization through just a couple of smart decisions, starting with treating their vagina like the most precious gift they have rather than a cheap ride at the traveling carnival.
Don't know why you've been downvoted. This is 100% true.
Extreme sexist feminazis seem to be gathering here. I'm giving both of you up votes.
So true. Like it. "Woman as victim" is as sexist as it gets.
And should we consider why so many homes are single mothers? After all if we are doing root cause analysis, shouldn't we?
Destruction of the family unit. Both due to financial and cultural factors.
All Clown goals. Do you not think the Great Awakening will impact this? Do you think "The Best is Yet to Come" will not address the 25% of children growing up with single moms?
If anons aren't thinking this big, then they don't fully grasp how encompassing Clown World is. How seeped into every single piece of Media we have consumed, our parents have consumed, and even our grandparents have consumed their entire lives.
Yep!
