  1. A lot of these oat and nut milks on the market I think our nutritionally incomplete.

    And I wonder about a lot of these baby formulas. Everybody was up in arms when they were not available for several months. What did parents feed their babies prior to 1960? I know my mother did not breast-feed since in the 1950s all the women were given hormones to dry up their milk without asking without permission it was just standard procedure. And she had some kind of a recipe involving evaporated milk and Karo syrup. I remember at my friends houses when their sisters and brothers were being given bottles, all the mothers made some sort of formula. They boiled the bottles and filled them up. Not that it’s easy, but it’s not as though babies will starve if commercially made formula is unavailable for a few months.
