“According to a letter from the FDA, General Mills’ advertising violates the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The agency said claims that Cheerios ingredients can lower cholesterol within a certain amount of time, all while providing cancer-fighting and heart-healthy benefits, essentially makes Cheerios ‘a drug’ by their definition. And no drug in this country can be legally marketed without an approved new drug application.”
”The U.S. Senate is considering levying a tax on sugary soft drinks to help pay for the overhaul of the nation's healthcare system, political sources say. Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, told the Journal the tax would be fair because such drinks drive up health costs for everyone by contributing to obesity, diabetes and other illnesses.”
Nothing is safe from the health police.
Soon you’ll have to swipe your ObamaCare card for permission to buy Cheerios ... or a soft drink.
And we pay for this?
