That's absurd. The WIC bidding process is competitive. sm/link Mon, May 23 2022 at 12:52 PM CDT (14)
- Sorry, Dear, it's a government-controlled monopoly in grocery stores It should NOT be allowed. NM Mon, May 23 2022 at 01:15 PM CDT (13)
  - The whole 3-company monopoly shouldn't be allowed. For now, they've finally allowed WIC recipients to buy other than their state's contract brand. sm Mon, May 23 2022 at 01:37 PM CDT (12)

        Plus the FDA has refused to approve formula from any but a handful of companies with regulatory costs-of-entry keeping new companies out of the business. nm Tue, May 24 2022 at 12:46 PM CDT (2)
        
        Pretty broad statement. Proof? Nm Tue, May 24 2022 at 02:41 PM CDT (1)
