Here is an interesting article about Cheerios being deemed a drug as per the FDA due to box labeling. Eat your Cheerios! http://blogs.denverpost.com/dollarsandsense/2009/05/26/cheerios-is-a-drug-the-fda-says/
Oh My Stars, just look at all the new and old parents who will get it for abusing there children, by feeding them drugs. What parent hasn't given there child cheerios for a snack.. I just think they are bored and have nothing better to do, or to much money and don't know what to do with it. They could send it to all us homeschooler for books..
The boys eat Cheerios every day! LOL There is a huge difference between taking a synthetic drug to lower your cholesterol and eating whole grain oats and other natural foods to keep your cholesterol at a healthy level. Duh! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see simvastatin (the ingredient in Zocor, a cholesterol drug) as a listed ingredient in Cheerios. Morons! Lame...lame...lame...
Ok so does that now mean when my dr asks me if I'm currently taking any medications that I now have to disclose that I each cheerios?
Yes, you got it girl! You also want to disclose it to the pharmacy and any medical questionnaires. Next they will have warnings about the affects of Cheerios after consumption: You may have a bout of energy.... blah-blah-blah!
So if it's now a drug I wonder if it's pregnancy safe? Guess I should stop eating it until I find out huh? LOL
ok my gut is going to bust!!! LOL!!! I think basically Cheerios is just going to change how they advertise, right? That way we all don't have to have cheerios added to our charts and the drs. Still it is crazy and totally not the same as other things that are drugs.
Our tax dollars at work! LOL The govt wastes so much $$ and I would have to say, that is a waste. Today I went to re-new the tags on our utility trailer. $13.19, the clerk told me after July 1st, it will go up an ADDITIONAL $23.00 ($36.19) the first year and the third and final year it will go up an additional $32.00! What? So my tags more than doubled on an old trailer? Again, my tax dollars at work.
(Looking secretly around.....) "Pst! Hey, Bud! Want some Cherrios? This is the pure stuff, straight from Mexico...."
:lol:rofl Yea and I have some oatmeal and nice fruits and veggies over at my place. Let's party.:lol:
Oh goodness... what will they come up next. Sign me up for rehab, I suppose. How about doing a study on all of those cereals that contain marshmallows that never expire and the cereal that changes the colour of the milk?? I'm more suspicious of THOSE cereals! If Cheerios are a drug, then Lucky Charms must be lethal!!
Not trying to steal the thread, but my utility trailer license will cost $51.86 (if you want to keep the plates, $54.92, That doesn't count the 2 trucks and 2 vans. (I told my dh to get rid of the 1 truck and 1 van) 301.30.
Hmmm! Here is a thought! If a student takes baggy of Cherrios to school to snack on, I wonder if he/she will be expelled for drug possession?
