Baby food

Complaints about the shortage of baby food started coming in last summer as mothers found empty shelves. The supply was disrupted by the pandemic. People recognizing the possible shortage began to stock pile. Then in February the Abbott plant that produced 40% of the domestic supply was shut down but no one bothered to ask where will the replacements come from. Then on May 13 Biden defended the White House's response saying they acted as soon as they became aware of the problem. Then he took steps to reduce red tape, speed formula production, changed import laws, invoked the Defense Production Act and launched Operation Fly Formula. His excuse for not acting sooner was that he was not a mind reader. Someone in the White House has to be close enough to the people to see a problem when mothers across the country knew about it. If anyone was able to shut off 40% of any commodity they would know that it would result in a shortage. Wake up!
