It’s not about drugs it’s about truth in advertising.
It’s not about truth in advertising, it’s about overreaching government control.
Cheerios has made this claim on its boxes for 12 years and the FDA supported it. It is disingenuous for them to say that the claims on the box make the cereal a drug. Cheerios’ claim is consistent with proper nutrition and diet. If they can regulate anything nutrition-related based on its benefits and detriments and on that basis call it a “drug”, they can control what you eat.
I am offended that they insult our intelligence by claiming that nutrition benefits make a food product a “drug.”
The claim is either valid or it isn’t. If it is valid, it is nutrition-related. Companies are allowed to advertise the benefits of their products. If it is not valid, why did the FDA approve the statement for so long?
