Yup, fits right here: "any product that affects the structure or function of the body is a drug, device or drug/device combination under the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act,"
could affect the structure or function of the body....course, we all know, it's not the gun, it's really just the bullet. Lead pills are BAD.

Some people flip out on twinkies, better ban them too. Although that might start a riot.
Uncle Sam will take care of that too, 5card, as soon as we run out of gas. They're working on that now, I believe. Yeah, be careful not to run into someone, that's also BAD.
Reminds me, I better make sure my client's chair legs are screwed on tight before she comes for it, or I'll be classified as a deadly weapon. She's hefty....too many twinkies?????? NOOOOOO, not the twinkies.

I'm off on a bike trek; Id better enjoy it while it's still legal!
The most hazardous part is sucking up vehicle exhaust while en route to the trails.
Assuming I dont cross paths with a sow bear towing cubs or a momma moose with calf? lol

The mayor of the City by the Bay, according to this morning's paper, has issued an executive order banning soda containing sugar from all vending machines on city property, and limiting diet sodas to 25% of the stock in the machine.
Pass the pot brownies, but drop that soda - Washington Times
The mayor is running for Lt. Governor.

Politics gone wild. Stop the World! What the heck washes down a pot brownie better than a Pepsi. Pot 'O tea??? Well, just gotta keep up with the times, I guess.
That guy sounds freaky. Probably well loved in City by the Bay. Didn't they just have an earthquake this morning? You'd think he'd be getting Religion pretty soon, and stay out of Government work, seems like an Omen to me.

This guy is not a very smart politician. You don't ban this stuff, just tax the heck out of it. If you have a bottle of pure fruit juice in the machines for $1.25 while the cost of that coke is $10 and the diet coke is $7.50, you have options. Of course, you have to stop people from just going to the store and picking up cheaper alternatives so tax the soda across the board. You can say the new taxes are for health education programs and to cover the increases in the cost of insurance due to obesity.
Then go out and do some road repair or build a bridge with the money. Sound familiar?

Oh, please, do it Gavin. Please!
I want you to set an example for the rest of the country.....so we know where things are headed.
Someday soon the government will be able to mandate that we eat three servings of fruits and vegetables every day or get a fine.

If the government gets to mandate what I eat, the government gets to pay for it. Otherwise I'm spending my money on what I choose.
One definate result from this new legislation will be the disappearance of all beverage vending machines. I mean, who is actually going to purchase soy milk, rice milk, etc., from a vending machine ? There is a reason those items aren't currently vended.
If I was a vending machine owner, I'd be upset ...
Yes, isn't that something like interferring with commerce...cripes, I think that's unconstitutional....Soy milk isn't something I ever bought, I'd have to try it. Rather have Pepsi.
I don’t know, Guns could be a Medical Device.
When I was growing up, some new people moved in down the road. They had this dog that would hop their fence and come into our yard and tear everything up. Got into trash cans, dug holes, crapped everywhere, etc.
Anyway, my dad talked with the dogs owners but they didn’t seem to care much. So he told them if they didn’t take care of it, he would.
They didn’t. So he did. He put 165 grains of lead in the dog’s ear and you know what? That dog never got into our yard again. In fact, that dog didn’t do much of Anything anymore.
So yes, I think a gun can be a Very effective Medical Device.

Hmm... I'm seening a tie in, here. Maybe soy milk is a drug, because it helps to prevent obesity.
Really, when you get right down to it, water is a drug under these definitions.
It sure as hell affects the structure and the function of the body!
