Very true. And they should have to prove anything they say in advertising (as should any company, IMO). But what if general mills backs up each and every statement they made with irrefutable scientific data? Will cheerios then be pulled off the grocer's shelf and placed behind a pharmacy counter and require a $50 doctor visit to get a prescription for a box of breakfast cereal?

And really, it isnt so much about the fed harassing a company over advertising as their defining something as a drug because of it's beneficial properties and not because of its ingredients. What's next? RedBull? It gives you wings.

How the holy fuck does this subject deserve a thread title like that? It's fucking Cheerios for Christ's sake! I'd bet to most people, other than teenrave because he's an ignorant cunt, the FDA's demands make perfect sense.

Probably because he wanted you to click it and read what he wrote, so he came up with an exaggerated thread title.

Thanks for your compliments they always make me smile
