So APPARENTLY the FDA is accusing Cheerios of being a drug. Let's see if I can find part of an article...
"The Obama administration is reversing course, thank goodness, and enforcing the law," he said. "Cheerios was the first target. We hope though the FDA under the Obama administration clamps down on misleading health claims by other food manufacturers as well.
At issue are two claims made by Cheerios on their cereal box.
1. "Cheerios is clinically proven to reduce cholesterol 4 percent in 6 weeks."
2. "Cheerios can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, by lowering the 'bad' cholesterol."
Both General Mills and the FDA declined to comment -- but issued statements saying the two sides were in negotiations over the claims that have helped make Cheerios America's best-selling cereal, amounting to one of every 8 boxes of cereal sold in the U.S.
General Mills is a titan of the food business with an army of lawyers. If the FDA can make it back down, others will follow."
WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO?!?!!?!?!?
Oh goodness...
So today I went to Genesis to work out (where I heard about this crazy Cheerio thang) and now I'm home, gonna clean out my backpack, probably clean basement & do sousy/piano/voice stuff...SHORTY COMING OVER LATER TONITEEE. I'm uber excited. :D
