No indication in the article as to when this exchange took place - wondering if this might not be the first flakes of the fallout from the cynically misnamed ‘Food Safety Modernization Act’?? (Stealth-passed and hurriedly signed into law during last year’s Lame Duck extravaganza...)
Ladies and gentlemen I stand before you tonight to let you know I am an addict........
Next thing the gov will tell that smoking is bad...oh wait..
LOL
Whats next water?
The gubbermint can have my nuts when they pry them from my cold, dead fingers.
LOL - the real irony is that I am allergic to wallnuts.
This is what we are paying for through the nose with our taxes.
” Whats next water? “
You mean “Dihydrogen Monoxide”???
(Google it and be amazed.. :~))
LOL...spell it right and maybe the nuts will be nice to you :)
The FDA is just another rogue agency like the EPA that operates outside any meaningful legal oversight, and needs to be defunded, disbanded, and scattered to the four winds.
No. This has always been the law of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. With some exceptions, how a product is classified is based on how it's marketed. If you make health claims, you're a drug. If you don't, you're not. Simple as that.
Sadly, its not just about Obama. The Dept. of Education, Energy, HHS/FDA/HUD, TSA, etc... have been around for years, just growing their roots - sometimes quickly, sometimes more slowly, but always growing. Republicans may trim them, but these bureaucracies and their staff are firmly "Progressive" in their outlook, and just wait for the likes of an Obama+Pelosi to come along to bloom.
If you follow this ridiculous logic, then everything that isn’t junk food is a “drug” because nutrients are “drugs.” Pork is an excellent source of Niacin. Does that make pork a drug. We know the benefits of Niacin.
And how about Calcium. Milk is a good source of Calcium. Calcium is an important nutrient for building bone integrity. Does that make Calcium a drug?
The folks over at FDA clearly have too much time on their hands. Guess this is the thanks we get when we complained about federal employees playing Solitaire on their computers. Now they’re going to punish us for eating healthy diets because anything that isn’t healthy is not a drug.
I can’t spell in six languages. Actually, I can’t spell in any of them.
;)
WARNING: If you read the entire article, you’re going to get a headache and your head might even explode.
This is some very crazy stuff!!!!
LOL... I have 3 ancient walnut trees on my property. If I continue to allow the neighbors to collect some of the nuts, will the DEA come to my house, shoot my dog,taser my wife, steal my chickens, burn my trees and take me to prison?
Will foods recommended as having healthy benefits, by Obama’s knuckle dragging wife, now be illegal??
Call me for a fix. I guess I’m a drug lord since I have a yard full of walnuts. Maybe I’ll find a corner to sell them this fall.
Water, eggs (glad I raise my own) cranberry, blueberry and pomogranate juices, beer and red wine...
Obama make history!!
On the same day that he kills our space program, he takes our nuts away.
