Wow. I love Honey Nut Cheerios, and I will buy two boxes next time I shop if it will help piss off BHO and his FDA.

Little nanny bot goes off in a huff. I bet Obama didn't have cheerios when he was a kid in Indonesia and is now just trying to get even with-em-ism. Maybe they should try offering him reparations.

In case anyone wonders why really bad problems happen on the FDA’s watch, now you know. This agency’s idiots spend their time parsing the words of people who are a lot more knowledgeable than they are.

I like to mix half regular cheerios with half frosted cheerios. Perfect mix. Not too sweet, not too bland. (I know, fascinating....)

Best all around vitamin cereal, Total Raisin Bran. Good stuff. (oooo, ahhh, the crowd is fascinated again...)

I think that photo explains why Cheerios is the top-selling cereal in the U.S.!

I'm glad the FDA is out watching the REALLY, REALLY important stuff.

I mean, what's next: Wheaties box with only FDA approved sports figure

After the government gets done with Cheerios, the only acceptable marketing slogan will be;

“Cheerios. They’re sort of round.”

LOL! I’ve seen THAT before, and have even done it myself when a box fell off a shelf.

What’s interesting is that the FDA thinks anybody is stupid enough to buy Cheerios for “health benefits”.

The agency said that claiming the cereal can lower cholesterol levels by 4 percent in six weeks amounts to marketing it as a drug and violates the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

Cholesterol can be lowered with diet and exercise. I'm an example of that. I didn't eat Cheerios; I ate hot cereal that was an oat and multigrain mixture, but my cholesterol went down over 20 points in 5 months.

General Mills has every right to tout the cholesterol lowering capabilities of it's Cheerios cereals, because they have data proving it. They aren't claiming it's a drug.

The FDA says Cheerios is being marketed a drug? That’s totally ridiculous. The FDA may have evidence that some of General Mills’ claims are exaggerations. I don’t know. But who do they think they are declaring Cheerios a drug?

Their claims of lowering cholesterol by eating Cheerios for breakfast is 100% TRUE!

I dropped my cholesterol 22 points when I started eating it every morning for breakfast, it works!

Of course I use to eat four eggs and a quarter pound of bacon every day, so I really don’t know if its the cereal doing it...

Well, all the comedians have been telling us that they don’t make jokes about Obama because there is nothing funny about him and he is so competent etc. If this doesn’t cause some late night jokes, nothing will. But they’ll distance it from Obama if they joke about it. It will be “the FDA” did it, not “the Obama administration.”
