If they go after Cap’n Crunch we will have riots in the streets.
First they came for your bullets, now they are coming for your Cheereos.
Obama - tough on pirates and Cheerios! Iran, No Korea, China — not so much!
...from my cold, dead hands !
>>”This is a food product, and they do have a health claim.” <<
What food doesn’t have an implied health claim. If you eat it, your body can convert it’s content to something that ensures your ongoing health.
Even McDonalds fries could make that claim.
We have a government of morons. This is a first amendment attack. They even say that what Cheerios says is accurate and factual, but apparently they need a license to say it.
Preposterous and insulting. I have no respect whatsoever for this government and, to be fair, this predates Obama AND Bush. This country is being run by intellectual children, for intellectual children.
The off shoot of a lot of this is if the government gets their hands on the ‘medical system’ watch to have your nutrition information diminish. Today they are picking on Cheerio’s tomorrow it will be Welch’s Concord Grape Juice. http://www.welchs.com/healthprofessionals/research-news
This very stupid gubmint is getting overly involved in life.
Time for a new gubmint?
Getting close.
You make a good point, this could disprove their nanny-stating against McDonalds Fries and what cooking oils ‘private’ establishments use. They’re looking at those as a disease, correct?
At this rate if I get too much Vitamin A, i’ll need a prescription for carrots and one for my bananas due to the potassium helping with my muscle spasticity. Yet placenta in shampoo and conditioners fine. /s
Ha! A prescription will be needed for Cheerios! This administration shows how insane and out of hand they are at wanting to control everything.
So no more “Contains calcium for strong bones” because it might be inferred it treats osteoporisis?
THIS GOVERNMENT IS INSANE! We can use dead babies medicine, but can’t claim nutritious food is... NUTRITIOUS.
When you look at hat is being called Government today it is scary.
Next the FDA is going to tell me Lucky Charms aren’t really magically delicious.
We can expect that they will soon take Trix to court for age discrimination and form a truth commission to determine if you really will go coo-coo for cocoa puffs.

I’m about to have a bowl full of that drug. I hope I survive.
Well, they are too sweet for my taste. Can I sue?
Just don’t OD on them. You know, you start of with Cheerios thinking it is harmless, but then you progress to much more dangerous drugs like Fruit Loops.
I like Cheerios ... now I’m a drug addict? I liked the post above about having to get a perscription for carrots. Doesn’t anybody but us see the total JOKE of this administration?
