From the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act
SEC.6
That the term “drug,” as used in this Act, shall include all medicines and preparations recognized in the United States Pharmacopoeia or National Formulary for internal or external use, and any substance or mixture of substances intended to be used for the cure, mitigation, or prevention of disease of either man or other animals.The term “food,” as used herein, shall include all articles used for food, drink, confectionery, or condiment by man or other animals, whether simple, mixed, or compound.

The government has lumped food as well as drugs into a category that comes with a religious exemption. Evidently most people choose instead to believe they are in the same category as animals. Alfred Adask shut down the Texas Attorney General by creating a brief on the topic when he was charged with involving himself with colloidal silver. Had the case continued and he had been determined to be guilty and IF his appeal to such a conviction had been successful there would be a cite-able case that could have been used to overturn many hundred thousands of drug convictions.
