Cheerios - A Drug

I have now heard everything. What is this world coming to? What will be next? I can't believe what I just read. I just read that Cheerios is a drug. You know, that innocent round, with a donut hole, cereal we call Cheerios. The cereal we all ate as kids. Heck, the breakfast cereal I fed to my own children when they were young.

Whatever happened to the innocence of eating a bowl of Cheerios? My children used to love their Cheerios put in a bowl with some milk in it. They used to take their little bowls, which by the way, they never added extra sugar to, and would sit and eat them, watching their favourite cartoons on the television before being bussed to school.

Cheerios is being called a drug because it claims that it can reduce cholesterol. I believe that Cheerios is good for us. I believe that Cheerios is beneficial to lowering cholesteroll but, come on, do we now have to call Cheerios a drug.

I'm sorry, but I am from the old school and when I hear the word 'drug', illegal drugs, crime, distortion, money laundering comes to my mind. How can anyone associate a bowl of Cheerios with crime? How can anyone call Cheerios a drug?

So are we going to be in fear of drug dealers coming around to steal our children's bowl of Cheerios? Are we going to have to fear that our children are going to have to be put in a dry-out center because they have an addiction to Cheerios?

Okay, okay. I know, I am going overboard with the drug thing with Cheerios but sorry Cheerios and drugs should never be put in the same sentence or the same thought.
