Cheerios

The Obama administration is claiming that Cheerios are a drug. Seriously.
The FDA warned General Mills that it was, in effect, marketing its Cheerios breakfast cereal as a drug, because the cereal’s familiar yellow boxes carry unapproved claims about lowering cholesterol and reducing the risks of heart disease.
Yeah, right. These folks lampoon themselves. There's no need for me to do it.

The sooner we do away with agencies like the FDA, the better off we'll be.

Yes, but the magic word that keeps that from happening is "Thalidomide".

As incompetent as the FDA is, as "fouled" up their whole process is, they will always get a pass because they claim that their process kept Thalidomide out of the US.
Never mind the other drugs they had to take off the market after release because of some serious problem or other that their certification process failed to detect.

Interestingly, the confirmation word is "messess"
