If so we could pump effort into increasing production of those raw materials. (Best I can see in general it's some kind of altered cow's milk). If it's logistics then we could certainly pump money into incentives or something to have whatever emergency material everyone is needed to get that supply running more often or something. Idk these are random thoughts I have no idea how hard it is to potentially make formula and there's certainly a shortage of drivers recently.

Back in the day people used to make baby formula with just powdered milk and sugar. They add a bunch more stuff now obviously, but the big reason why there's a shortage is because babies died from drinking Similac throughout the country and there's a massive recall for that brand (which was the biggest formula brand).
