A Prescription for Cheerios?

Pretty soon we may be seeing those bright yellow Cheerios boxes behind the counter... the pharmacy counter, that is. 

In yet another waste of taxpayer money, the FDA has declared that Cheerios' statements of being heart healthy qualify it as a "drug" under federal law. The FDA goes on to suggest that General Mills should file for a new drug application if it would like to keep the wording on the packaging. 

Doesn't the FDA have something better to do with their time, like tour peanut factories?
