    Read my post again....If their formulas are significantly different. There are different 'formulas' in every country. One that is safe in Europe may well be safe in the US - but the difference in their 'formulas' might cause problems for some American babies.

    No, you read my post again. The formulas aren’t different. We know this because they aren’t hurting their babies. Any of them. Special needs babies or otherwise. They have formulas for all of them. so figure it out.

    My god, this is like arguing with someone who thinks the covid vaccine should have been developed like every other vaccine—in 10-15 years. Scientists figured it out and government got the hell out of the way with its regulations. Guess what? Biden admin needs to do the same thing now.

    More hands-on deck to look at alternatives. I imagine things are fairly complicated and you can't afford to get it wrong where infant health is concerned.

    Also read @Pants post above and @Lee Atwater below

    Mind you, your FDA has cut all sorts of corners with genetically modified food, so I don't trust it a bit myself.

    Also, every country has their own biosecurity, customs arrangements and import requirements. I've never known it to be said:"oh that's safe in another country we won't bother with all our own analysis".

    Ironic that you said "Funny how you skip right over facts" even as you skipped over the facts.

    Rep. Rosa DeLauro, who chairs the Appropriations Committee and authored the FDA funding bill, said before the vote that most of the money in the legislation would pay for additional FDA employees, including inspectors who could help approve domestic or international formula manufacturing companies.

    “FDA does not have the adequate inspection force to be able to do that and to do it in a timely way,” DeLauro, D-Conn., said. “So the crux of this is providing infrastructure ... in order to do what needs to get done. And that is about, as quickly as possible, how we get product in and get it on the shelves.”

    Well, the only persons I've seen thus far assert, as the solution for the baby formula shortage 'the women should breastfeed', are those on the right. Feel free to prove me wrong.
    Only those on the right suggest we should do nothing. No, we should at least try and relieve the shortage.

    We wouldn't be in the baby formula mess if it wasn't for Biden and the left's policies. I just read an article recently blaming Republicans for the spread of Covid a couple of years ago by keeping meat packing plants, etc. moving instead of locking them down, which helped put groceries on the table. Now, with a new Covid variant blazing across the country, democrats want to get the factories rolling for baby formula. Your level of hypocrisy is amazing.

    Actually if you listen to people who, you know looked into this, rather than a Republican knee jerk reaction you will find that the real issue is 4 companies running an oligarchy. This goes back years

    If you had actually read the bill, instead of slurping up leftist propaganda, you would have known why even some Democrats voted against the bill.
    It does NOTHING to provide more baby formula. Its a bill that gives Bidens FDA cronies, 28 million in additional salaries. Giving the FDA millions of dollars is not going to produce one ounce of baby formula.

    If they really wanted to fix the problem they would lift all the new restrictions they put against the Sturgis, Michigan Abbott facility by the Biden FDA when they found no contaminates or deadly bacteria in their products.

    There was no easing of restrictions by the FDA, there was no reopening plan from the FDA and not even an apparent awareness of the consequences of their actions until there was a critical shortage of formula but the loony left thinks giving the FDA 28 million will produce more baby formula.

    Just maybe if you actually read the bill before regurgitating what you're commanded to regurgitate, we could find a way to produce more formula instead of dumping 28 million in salaries to the FDA

    And it should not be. Congresscritters should be held to a work ethic - they are employed by the constituents to be a representative not arse around trying to play “king of the mountain”

    Sooooo you would be happy if they loaded just any formula onto those planes? I mean Chinese baby formula is cheap and there would be plenty of it.

    Pity it is so unreliable that wealthy Chinese in China pay Chinese Australians to buy our baby formula and ship it over to China for them

    Blah blah blah blah blah
    You can try and recover from the fake claims but at the end of the day, if you don't open the plant, you can't make baby formula.
    And giving 28 million to the FDA for salaries produces nothing
    Try and keep up

    Right back atcha. Clearly you aren't understanding my point, as you continue to drive your own point. I realize the European formulas are safe - they have similar regulations to the FDA. But switching formulas in babies is not a simple process - even if it is switching between US brands. There are different ingredients and levels of ingredients in the European formula - and not all American babies will tolerate the differences. Is that more clear?

    Errrr. You didn’t hear about the scandal in China a couple of years back did you?
    https://www.scmp.com/business/compa...ill-dominate-parents-do-not-trust-chinas-home

    I think it might be a GOOD idea to test the formula and make sure it does not contain melamine

    So the FDA gets 28 million to hire more people. So advertise for jobs, find candidates, conduct interviews, make choices, make job offers, negotiate job offers (and that's a LOT of jobs for 28 million), train and begin. Shouldn't take but 6 months or more. Hope no babies starve.

    No, they actually read the bill to find out the entire 28 million goes to salaries at the FDA that doesn't produce an ounce of baby formula.
    By they were successful in getting those non critical thinkers who won't actually read the bill to slurp up the leftist media garbage and regurgitate it.
