Executive order refers to large and small reproductive cells.
"Though Trump's executive order does technically declare that all humans are female, it's unlikely to be applied this way since this clearly wasn't the president's intent."

TheEggMan | 2 years ago | on: Don't let 'FDA-approved' or 'patented' in ads give you a false sense of security
Regarding Patented, he is correct, it carries little weight.
Regarding FDA approved, it carries a heavy weight. In order to be approved by the FDA, a business must submit a 510K which supports with data, detail, and often clinical studies why a produce meets its claimed "Essential Performance".
Having done this personally, it's no small task. All labeling and advertising of the product must match these proven claims. Michael's article incorrectly assumes that it's governed by the FTC, however the FDA controls this. They also are strict in making recalls, and blocking sales if your marketing does not match said claims.
