breakfast prescription

Please tell me that someone else heard this story? As I was leaving work this evening, I caught part of a story about Cheerios. I guess there is a big controversy about if the cereal is as healthy for you as it claims to be. On the outside of the box it advertises that it is made from whole grains and helps lower your cholesterol, by cleaning your arteries. It is made to be "heart-healthy". Well, the FDA is reviewing this information and says that if Cheerios is so good for you, as it claims, that you would need a prescription to buy it! The research is on-going.

WHAT??!! Maybe I was just tired...but I'm pretty sure that was the story.
