Good morning, today is Thursday, May 14, 2009 and I have a fairy tale for you.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Frederica Danielle Adams.  Her family and friends nicknamed her FDA and she loved the sound of it.  One day FDA wandered away from home without permission and stumbled upon a little cabin in the woods.  The cabin door was open, so FDA peeked in and saw that nobody was home.  She made herself comfortable and began going through all the cabinets. It wasn't the right way to behave but for FDA it was quite typical behavior.

In the first cabinet, FDA found all sorts of prescription drugs. Some of these pills had terrible side effects printed on the label.  FDA found it very interesting reading and she set the pills aside and closed the cabinet.

In the second cabinet, FDA found all sorts of herbal concoctions that promised to do many wonderful things.  One jar promised instant weight loss, another instant nirvana.  Once again, FDA found this all very, very interesting and she set the herbs aside and closed the cabinet door.

Now FDA opened the third and last cabinet and was shocked and dismayed.  The cabinet was filled with box after box of Cheerios.  FDA's heart began to race when she read the front of the box. It seems that General MIlls, claims that eating Cheerios for breakfast can help lower cholesterol by 10 percent.

...POP...Blasphemy, horror of horrors, call the police, tell the world how criminal such a claim is!

This time FDA did not put the Cheerios back in the cabinet.  Instead she put all the boxes of cereal in her basket and took them home to Washington, D.C.

And so boys and girls, that is why you will have to ask mommy to go to the pharmacy to buy your Cheerios.  Remind mommy to bring her license and passport or she won't be able to bring home the cereal.

If you haven't already guessed, I am having Honey Nut Cheerios for breakfast today. Am I breaking the law?

The End....
