Seen any walnuts in your medicine cabinet lately? According to the Food and Drug Administration, that is precisely where you should find them. Because Diamond Foods made truthful claims about the health benefits of consuming walnuts that the FDA didn’t approve, it sent the company a letter declaring, “Your walnut products are drugs†— and “new drugs†at that — and, therefore, “they may not legally be marketed … in the United States without an approved new drug application.†The agency even threatened Diamond with “seizure†if it failed to comply.

More proof (as if we needed any) that the federal Government is totally out of control.

I guess too many people in government have been eating walnuts.
-
I suspect that Diamond Food, Inc. is guilty of not donating enough money to Obama or the DNC.
-
Their mistake is not labeling them "green" walnuts, which "support sustainable resources" and "battle climate change". The Feds would not only be leaving them alone, but giving them millions.
-
Did the FDA specify "English" or "Black" walnuts. Obama hates the English (whites). Maybe the FDA might reconsider Black walnuts as a "health" food? S'pose so?
Or maybe I'm on the wrong planet........(http://www.conservativecave.com/Smileys/default/handface.gif)

This is crazy. Blue Diamond needs to label them as a drug?

Ignore the voices who warn of tyranny.

“The FDA’s language,†Faloon writes, “resembles that of an out-of-control police state where tyranny [reigns] over rationality.†He adds:
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.
Next will be breast milk because it isn't pasteurized.

You can bet the farm they're working on that.

This is nuts.

TV NEWS doctor this morning says that people that eat 1 oz. of nuts daily have 20% fewer heart attacks/strokes etc.... so soon you'll need a doctors proscription to get nuts and the TV will be full of lawyer ads offering to get you big bucks from the doctors and nut growers of America.

Nuts!
Is there any Goobermint agency that hasn't gone completely off the rails in this administration? They've always had a tendency to overreach, but it seems that every Fidel in the country has been put into decision-making roles at the various agencies. They are all now infested with commies. The only way to clean out the muck will be to get rid of them all. Something I don't see happening in the foreseeable future.

Oh yes it is for woman that sell or donate breast milk for baby's that are premature or lactose intolerant.
Some woman cannot produce enough milk to feed their baby, believe it or not there are milk banks that sell breast milk and it is pasturized.

I was thinking of mothers who nurse their own babies at home...not milk banks.
