To the Government, We’re All Kids
To heck with marijuana, folks, the FDA has its eyes on the real gateway drug.
According to a letter from the FDA, General Mills’ advertising violates the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The agency claims that Cheerios can lower cholesterol within a certain amount of time while providing cancer-fighting and heart-healthy benefits makes Cheerios “a drug” by FDA definition. No drug in the United States can be legally marketed without an approved new drug application.
Suzanna Logan is just the slightest bit nonplussed by the news. Sure, you ate them because they taste good, as do I. That’s why the government can’t help but get its wicked little hands all over it. If you like it, Washington will find a way to mess with it somehow. If it’s not Cheerios, it’s soda pop or sweet soft drinks, fatty foods. Note that always there is a bigger tax involved to fund the salaries of bureaucrats who will then tell you how you must live your life.
It’s all for your own good, of course. In the eyes of Big Mommy Government, we are all ignorant children and only she can raise us correctly.
