the Joe Rogan experience I keep hearing there's a formula shortage which is
terrible the baby formula yeah I saw that recently where's how is that what's
going on what's going on there um I don't know how the fuck do you not have
enough baby formula I'm happy they don't first of all what cuz I don't and I'll
tell you why please do baby formula ain't no good for babies it's not not
most most of them are not but some women can't pump some right right there
right
for whatever reason their milk ducks absolutely absolutely and there's
alternative formulas out there like there's really good some of them are
like soy based I'm like I don't get your child and but like when you talk about
I
don't want to name companies because that could give me legal issues right but
the
formula that's on the market has a lot of toxic ingredients in it it ain't good
for
babies what what kind of toxic ingredients I don't know I haven't studied this
stuff in years but let people do their own research right let people go and
there's a lot of people that have done this research let's see if we can find
it
see find out what what's bad about baby formula pull up the ingredients just on
just Google what's bad about baby formula okay you might have to use it might
be a
thing thank you an alternative yeah that would give you bad what'd you say that
would give you bad blog results like that's gonna give you oh goofy shit that
people are trying to sell stuff how about toxic ingredients in baby formula
that might
do that that might work would that work what are you doing over there Jim you
wrestling with that microphone um but I don't know you know like it's
definitely
better to have breast milk yes absolutely I think for some women that's an
impossibility right so then I maybe you gotta have it that formula right but um
I
think a lot of women um also can't afford the breast milk because the breast
milk is expensive you know if you can't nurse but you mean buying breast yeah
yeah
it's very expensive yeah that stuff is very expensive so it's hard to get
alternatives blah blah blah blah and the thing is like there are people that
are
making um baby formula that is like organic holistic but because of like FDA
regulations there's certain guidelines I got to stay within so they can't say
oh
this is safe for a newborn right oh but you can technically give it to a
newborn but they can't put that on the label and say hey this is good for a
newborn you can get this stuff on Amazon right um but there's organic like good
baby formula out there so they can't call it baby formula is that what it is
yeah
well what do they it's like it's they stay they market it towards like more
toddlers huh so like it's it's like I want to say 6 to 12 months or 12 months
to
24 months or something like that yeah I just had a baby so that's why I was oh
yeah
all in it here it is some of America's biggest manufacturers baby food have not
been adequately testing and removing products with dangerous levels of heavy
metals according to new congressional US congressional report this is all part
of
an ongoing battle to make baby food safe the new report says Gerber and Beach
Nut didn't properly test and remove these products while Sprout Foods
incorporated Walmart's parent choice and plum organics were relaxed in their
efforts arsenic lead cadmium and mercury were found in rice cereals sweet
potato
purees juices and sweet snack puffs according to a previous report from the
subcommittee on economic and consumer policy committee on oversight at the time
time the company's nature sells happy family organics and happy baby products
beach nut hayne earth's best organic and Gerber agreed to the subcommittee's
previous request for investigation the subcommittee also reached out to Walmart
Campbell and Sprout Organic Foods which did not allow the investigation those
companies later began cooperating mmm yeah so I was talking about so there's a
toxic baby food lawsuit cases mm-hmm for parents at the bottom there mm-hmm
interesting yeah and
then so then you see the ADHD autism situation popping up because of the heavy
metals
neurotoxins yeah right for parents who have bought food from any of the brands
and have
children with autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder both autism
and ADHD have been associated with toxic metals
mm-hmm mm-hmm yeah so when you when I saw that I saw this story pop up so in
the back of my
mind I'm like good right it's like it's like in some ways it's bad because the
baby needs
something yeah it needs something right but in another way I'm just like you
know
it's it's catch-22 why is there a shortage right well see why is there a baby
food shortage
yeah I thought it was because of um is it the Putin price hike I thought it was
because the um
there it goes wow look at that 40% of baby food formula out of stock thread on
infant formula shortage
situation which feels like a slow-moving train wreck first retail stock has
been rocky for months it was already bad over the holidays then a big
recall plus plant shutdown in February made it worse also is a plant shut down
oh that's right cuz the plants have been burning down
you saw that yeah I did that was like food production plan yes you process yeah
why is why is that happening
yeah but man if it's a good time to be a conspiracy theorist it's a great time
cuz you know you got a lot of fucking ammunition
yeah I I I I tend not to look into this stuff it's probably because it gives me
anxiety yeah it gives me anxiety too that's why I need weed
Mike Tyson weed um say Abbott nutrition recalled with the contamination after I'll
hit it that's the Mike Tyson weed oh man it's dangerous oh boy
possible contamination of several instance got sick and infants got sick and
two died whoa
so Abbott nutrition recalled and withheld some of its baby boomer product due
to concerns about possible contamination fuck
mmm all this stuff is terrifying man just when you hear stock talk about you
know um about food shortages to keep saying food shortages
are coming yeah and people are saying food shortages are coming and like what
do something yeah how do you know it's coming
you know what where's the food coming from
