Yep, because baby formula is one of the most shoplifted things in America. Which should ALSO radicalize you.

Or… We stop shoplifting? 🤔 Are we demonizing acts to stop crimes now?

ill tear your head off your shoulders you dumb fuck

I’m all for radicalization like the government and society are fucked. But they put baby formula in locked cases because it is used to make meth. The store does this to keep an eye out if someone is buying way too much. Like waaaaay too much.

This is what imperialism and capitalism and the “war on drugs” does to people’s brains. You can see that people are so desperate to feed their babies that the people who rule your lives keep baby formula under lock and key but rather than that radicalizing you and making you want to fight for a world where no baby ever goes hungry, you justify this draconian bullshit because you’ve fallen for the propaganda that baby formula is used in some nebulous relation to “drugs” and drugs are bad so whatever inhuman monstrosity that occurs must be justifiable.

1I think maybe some might understand better with the price

One tin of this stuff is nearly 20 dollars. One tin can make 90 fl oz. Newborns eat every 2-3 hours (and if one can’t breastfeed regularly, supplementing with a bottle is good) and usually 1 to 2 ounces per feeding. So that is 8 to 12 times in 24 hours. If it’s only the can, it can last maybe that first week.

BUT THEN, by two weeks, the amount doubles. 3-4 ounces feeding. So 2 cans per week. About $40.

By 2 months of age, babies drink 4-5 oz on average per feeding every 3-4 hours so typically you make 6oz to have enough. That’s about 6 times a day, about 30 oz. So a can lasts 3 days. $40-60 a week.

By 4 months, we’re at 5-6oz. 36oz a day, run through a can in 2.5 days 3 cans a week. $60+ a WEEK.

At 6 months, while solid foods may start being introduced, babies are having up to 8oz every 4-5 hours. that can be 48 ounces a day–a can every 2 days! 

Baby formula is something you don’t want to skimp on considering it’s a baby’s source of nutrition. But I have a heart attack ringing other people up at work! Programs like WIC are invaluable to making ends meet for a lot of families with young children, but if they don’t qualify just barely, that can be a lot of money to budget on top of diapers and everything else.

Notice which stores have them in cases and which stores have them on shelves, and what part of town it’s in.
