May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Cheerios is a Drug

The FDA is going after Cheerios as a drug! That's because it claims to lower cholesterol.

The FDA, in a letter to manufacturer General Mills: "Based on claims made on your product’s label, we have determined (Cheerios) is promoted for conditions that cause it to be a drug because the product is intended for use in the prevention, mitigation and treatment of disease.”

Go see the doc to get a prescription for breakfast...

Instead of the heavy handed Statist approach, the Obama Administration could just ask General Mills to show the data to support the claim. This is yet another indication the Obama Admin wants to control every aspect of our lives; in this case controlling our health. Just think what he'll be able to do if he's able to ram through Obamacare.
