Has that been stripped out of the Constitution of the United States?It seems as though the FDA is at it again, they have gone after Kevin Trudeau, they have tried to derail Dr. Burczynski, they have gone after Producers of pomegranate juice and green tea, among others.
Now the are coming down on Diamond foods for including health benefits on the packaging of walnuts.

This kind of bureaucratic tyranny sends a strong signal to the food industry not to innovate in a way that informs the public about foods that protect against disease. While consumers increasingly reach for healthier dietary choices, the federal government wants to deny food companies the ability to convey findings from scientific studies about their products. Walnuts aren’t the only food whose health benefits the FDA has tried to suppress. Producers of pomegranate juice and green tea, among others, have felt the bureaucrats’ wrath whenever they have suggested that their products are good for people. Meanwhile, Faloon points out, foods that have little to no redeeming value are advertised endlessly, often with dubious health claims attached. For example, Frito-Lay is permitted to make all kinds of claims about its fat-laden, fried products, including that Lay’s potato chips are “heart healthy.” Faloon concludes that “the FDA obviously does not want the public to discover that they can reduce their risk of age-related disease by consuming healthy foods. They prefer consumers only learn about mass-marketed garbage foods that shorten life span by increasing degenerative disease risk.” Faloon thinks he knows why this is the case. First, by stifling competition from makers of more healthful alternatives, junk food manufacturers, who he says “heavily lobb[y]” the federal government for favorable treatment, will rake in ever greater profits. Second, by making it less likely that Americans will consume healthful foods, big pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers stand to gain by selling more “expensive cardiac drugs, stents, and coronary bypass procedures” to those made ill by their diets. |
Something I read was really laughable! The FDA claims that since Diamond foods labeled some health benefits on the packaging of walnuts, they are considering it a drug and because there is no direction for use on the label, it is therefore illegal to sell them.
Wow! since when do we need directions on how to eat a walnut.
I have just renamed the FDA from Food and Drug Administration to
"Freaking dumb asses"
