Kellogg's Goes Woke, Kendi Should Go Broke

kelloggs-together-wi.jpg

Happy Halloween Weekend! This is a weekend known for sugar. Still, I bet you didn't expect a post on breakfast cereal. There is actually some serious discussion built around a piece by Daniel Greenfield below, but first, from a review in May of Kellog's glittery Together With Pride super-sugary cereal:

Like Caticorn, Together with Pride is very generically fruity. It's difficult and unproductive trying to detect any traces of raspberry or strawberry specifically, because it all gets gummed together by a sticky sugar sheen and the additional cloying sweetness of each piece's "edible glitter." Imagine the fakest berry taste you can, then make it hollower and glossier.

. . .I'm just gonna leave this bowl standing here.

Maybe it'll solidify into a cereal milk candle.

Be glaad your moms didn't make you eat THAT every morning.

As a side note, this website turns your cursor into a little spoon. It really is dedicated to cereal. Cerealously.

We can't forget the makers of Kaboom! There is also a review of three General Mills Wonderworks "Keto Friendly" cereals. Anybody ever seen these? One got a better review than the others. But I don't think General Mills wants you to eat "Keto Friendly" cereal, somehow. Kaboom is in the Marshmallow Madness cereal family. I think that is more the General Mills style.


From the comments on the Keto cereals:

At almost 7 dollars a box they should be ashamed to try to pass this stuff off as anything close to cereal! I unfortunately tried the peanut butter flavor, it was quite literally the most disappointing food I have ever ate. Each bite I forced myself to eat was a mouth full of sadness!

Schoolyard brand Keto cereals were also mentioned in the comments and one was reviewed later. Might be OK for dry munching. Too expensive to give away as Halloween treats.

Back to Kellogg's: This news brief from October 7 includes a new Pop-Tarts flavor. I thought of CBD.

But our host also picked up some other news about Kellogg's:

. . . it's also my due journalistic diligence to remind you that 1400 Kellogg's factory workers are on strike right now, fighting for healthcare, retirement benefits, vacation pay, and for their jobs not to be outsourced altogether! Hopefully they can reach an agreement before December, so we can all enjoy Eggo Pop-Tarts, but ultimately, the livelihoods of the people working hard to make our breakfasts are far more important than some sweet 'n' sticky toaster slab.

I encourage you to join me in standing with these brave Kellogg's workers by avoiding Kellogg's purchases until an agreement is met.

Kellogg's products shown. Not sure if a boycott works if you don't tell Kellogg's you're in boycott mode. But this brings us to Daniel Greenfield's piece:

KELLOGG'S GOES WOKE WHILE ITS WORKERS GO BROKE

In the late 19th century, John Harvey Kellogg, a eugenicist and celibate vegetarian, became the leading health food nut of the era and along the way accidentally invented corn flakes.

Back then Kellogg's Battle Creek Sanitarium was a spa for the rich where patients got electric baths and enemas (the subject of a scathing parody in the book and movie, The Road to Wellville). These days, Battle Creek, Michigan is in much worse shape and Kellogg's is the area's biggest employer. But the corporation, like most of its multinational woke ilk, spends most of its time virtue signaling social justice while outsourcing American jobs. . .

But while Kellogg's was working hard to promote the "health, happiness, and welfare of children" by feeding them sugary cereals and teaching them that white people are evil, it was also busy wrecking the economy of Battle Creek, Michigan to make a little more money.

It didn't count though because much of the Kellogg's Battle Creek workforce is white.

Under CEO Carlos Gutierrez, later Bush's Commerce Secretary, much of the operation was shut down and moved to Mexico. After that Battle Creek's unemployment rate went from 3.9% to 7.5%.

"He knows exactly what it takes to make American businesses grow and create jobs," Bush said of Gutierrez.

Which was true. Just in Mexico.

And he didn't stop there.

Back at Kellogg's:

When Kellogg's isn't firing its American workers and trading them for foreign workers who will work for a fraction of the cost, it's terrorizing its workforce with Equity, Diversity & Inclusion. While Kellogg's won't pay its workers fairly, it has hired a roster of diversity executives who make 4 times their salary to tell them how racist they are. . .
An Amnesty International report accused Kellogg's and a variety of woke food multinationals, including Unilever, the parent company of antisemitic BDS advocate Ben and Jerry's, of getting palm oil from plantations where 8-year-olds worked under hazardous conditions.

While the C-suite virtue signals about social justice, children are dropping out of school to labor on plantations, women are working for $2.50 a day, and breathing in toxic pesticides.

In the USA,

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation, another of the multitude of hijacked radical foundations, is the biggest shareholder of Kellogg's through the Kellogg's Foundation Trust. The left-wing activist foundation had originally been founded as the W. K. Kellogg Child Welfare Foundation by John's brother who idealistically but foolishly told his board, "Use the money as you please, so long as it promotes the health, happiness, and welfare of children."

An example of the Kellogg Foundation's promotion of the happiness of children is its Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation Implementation Guidebook which claims that "emphasizing individualism as opposed to a more collective ideology" is racist, and saying, "People are people. We are all alike regardless of the color of our skin," is even more horrifyingly racist. . .

Anyway, read the whole thing.

Kellogg's Cereals promote Ibram X. Kendi!

How I imagine the new Tony the Tiger:

Frosted Flakes! They're GREAT!!!

Your baby is a racist!!!

Read Kendi's Book!!!

Now go out there and take on the day.

Ibram X. Kendi is the favorite race essentialist of Kellogg's, tech billionaires and the Biden Department of Education. Grace on Twitter and her friends know that you can trust these people.

not kaboom.jfif

Kendi has a special exemption from explaining why parts of his ideology conflict with other parts of his ideology.

John McWhorter, one of the few people who dares to really challenge Kendi publicly, might frame this as a religious exemption. McWhorter's new book is just out: Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America

From a review:

McWhorter's Woke Racism updates Eric Hoffer's 1951 work, The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements and reveals how durable and sempiternal the folly of dogma is.

Woke Racism reveals that a new pseudo-religion can rise and spread without a belief in a god, but never without a belief in a devil. It is startling to realize how much unbelief is necessary to make belief in Woke Racism possible.

Encounter Books has a little book out that has some historical background on The Dictatorship of Woke Capital. As we have seen recently, Kellogg's is not the only corporation to adopt policies which seem not to be in its own best long-term interests.

Recipe

Tired of reading about sugar? Here's an adult Halloween recipe that contains only a teaspoon of brown sugar: Caribbean Spiced Nuts

Culture

Want a banana with your cereal tomorrow? You may pay a higher price than you figured on.

Prepared for the kiddies this weekend? Maybe you could relax a little before they start showing up.
