	I knew a guy who would buy a lot of Cheerios, and take it to his home
country twice a year to give to his father who had heart problems, so I
can see the FDA's point. OTOH, I'm not sure if government agencies
should be going around trying too hard to prevent people from doing
stupid things.

	On the whole, I'd probably side with the FDA. I'm not as old as quite a
few of you, but somehow I see more younger people get taken in by silly
advertising than the older crowd - and I don't think it's just wisdom
from age. Older people probably have a sense that you don't get medicine
from overly packaged food, because presumably it wasn't that way when
they were growing up. But that division is slowly eroding for the
younger crowd, who are growing up seeing this to be "normal". I can
understand it being harder for them to distinguish between legitimate
stuff and Cheerios.
