Four months after a nationwide recall of baby formula, this crucial food remains widely out of stock--and parents remain desperate. In this episode we talk to Katie Kennedy, a mom who drove 800 miles to buy the specialty formula her daughter needs to survive, and to Helena Bottemiller Evich, who did the most definitive reporting into how the crisis occurred–and how it might be resolved. The interviews are both heart-wrenching and sadly instructive on how America treats mothers and children. (Helena, formerly a star reporter at Politico, will soon be launching a food policy newsletter. Sign up for information about the launch here:https://bit.ly/3I580ur).
