You are quite possibly a drug addict. Your child may be a drug addict. You have probably been hooked on drugs your entire life without knowing it. Your drug addiction most likely started the moment you began eating solid foods. Your drug of choice? Cheerios.
The Food and Drug administration has classified Cheerios Toasted Whole Grain Oat Cereal which is made by notorious drug pushers General Mills as a drug. Citing General Mills claims that “eating two servings a day of Cheerios helps to reduce bad cholesterol when eaten as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol” the FDA has ruled that America’s best selling cereal is on par with the same kind of drug that cures your restless leg syndrome but gives you compulsive gambling tendencies and nymphomania.
The result of the decision is that General Mills must now apply to have Cheerios approved as a drug by the FDA or change the way it’s labeled. Personally, I smell a shakedown. I’m sure the application process for a new drug involves some kind of fees which goes to the FDA, otherwise we would never see drugs that can cure your allergies but has a side effect of death. General Mills sells a ton of cereal and I’m sure the FDA wants in on the action. As if we needed a bigger sign that our medical system has grown bloated and overtly greedy, this sure takes the cake. Humans managed a heck of a lot of things in our short lifespan on this planet, even with our restless legs, PMDD and asthma. I’m thinking we don’t need the FDA regulating what kind of oat cereal we put into our bodies. Or anything else really.
