Against the law to tell the truth

[armedandsafe]

If you report the results of medical studies in conjunction with the sale of a product, you have "created" a new drug for the FDA to regulate.

I have quoted only a snippet, for copyright purposes. Read the whole article.

As unbelievable as it sounds, current law makes it illegal for food producers to share certain types of scientific information with you.

So when Diamond Food relayed health information about the omega-3 fats in walnuts on product packaging and also on their Web site, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) attacked.

Even though the information was entirely true, and backed by peer-reviewed scientific research.

If a Food Can Prevent a Disease, it Must be a Drug.

This is the backward thinking that goes on at the FDA, where regulations currently prohibit manufacturers of dietary supplements or producers of food from referring to any scientific study documenting the potential effect of the substance on a health condition, punishable by large fines and even jail.

Disclosure about the benefits of a dietary supplement or food, no matter how credible, places the food in the category of an "unapproved drug."

In other words, if a product makes a medical claim, it's automatically classified as a drug.

There's a weed that been growing alongside rural ( very rural ) railroad tracks since WW2, when it was woven into ropes for our military ships.

It's known to provide an appetite, cure insomnia and treat certain eye diseases, all at the same time.

I've never understood all the issues with it. After reading the OP, I have a better understanding. It's a drug.

School lunch programs have been in the spotlight recently. Just last week, the Blaze posted two stories about a North Carolina school where the food police were aggressively monitoring lunches that parents give to their children. Earlier this year, First Lady Michelle Obama lead a very public campaign to announce that healthier foods would be coming to school cafeterias and military mess halls.

Today, many parents will be questioning the wisdom of a government-controlled school lunch program. Why? Because the Feds have announced that the USDA is buying seven million pounds of something that is affectionately known as “pink slime.”

and the FDA won't allow them to tell you it's in your food.

I watched that story on the news last nite, and again this morning. Sick story. I really didn't want to know that. Then, you have the folks who say " you don't want to know what hotdogs are made of ".

Hamburger..Hotdogs..? All they need to add to the list is, Moms Apple Pie.

I know it's was asking to much, but when they did the lead-in of the story before a commercial break, I got wired.

So help me, when they said " Pink Slime " before the commercial, I said a silent prayer that the story would say... pork was in the hamburger.

Actually, I said pleeeze let it be pork. I don't know if that's a prayer or not, but...
