Cheerios - The New Rave Drug?

After 12 years of being allowed to use the phrase "lower your cholesterol 4% in 6 weeks," the FDA has sent a cease and desist style letter to the General Mills brand cereal, Cheerios. The warning letter was fired off because the FDA now claims that the language on the box is in violation of federal law. According to Bitten & Bound: "The FDA said such claims can only be made for drugs, and it suggested that if General Mills wants to keep the box labeling as is, it should file a new-drug application for Cheerios." I don't know why, but my mind flooded with images of rave kids wearing Cheerio necklaces around their necks, gnawing on each other's cereal. "Dude, I'm so high!" The thought of Cheerios as a drug is cracking me up this morning. I'll get my coffee (speaking of drugs) and settle down soon.
