Commentary: Why you should purge Kellogg’s from your pantry
Blaze ^ | September 22, 2023 | MICHAEL SEIFERT

Posted on 09/22/2023 11:28:30 AM PDT by Red Badger

Walk through your local grocery store and you’ll find many Kellogg’s products: Rice Krispies, Pop-Tarts, Pringles, Cheez-Its, Froot Loops, Frosted Mini-Wheats, Corn Flakes, Frosted Flakes, and Special K.

Some of the boxes will tell you that they are sweet and delicious, while others might claim to be heart-healthy.

What Kellogg's products should tell you is that each sale supports open borders, rioting, and radical leftism. This is an indisputable fact, just like the number of calories in a serving.

Each box of Special K that’s sold benefits the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Every conservative knows about George Soros’ support of left-wing activists, but few are aware of just how influential the Kellogg Foundation is. The foundation distributes hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of grants every year. Its immense wealth is due to its large ownership stake in the Kellogg company.

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation Trust owns 16% of Kellogg’s. That stock is worth $3.2 billion. The trust uses these assets to fund the foundation. For example, in 2022 the trust funded the Kellogg Foundation with $387 million, according to Influence Watch.

They don’t want you to see this … Big Tech does its best to limit what news you see. Make sure you see our stories daily — directly to your inbox. The foundation also has representation on the board of Kellogg’s. Foundation CEO La June Montgomery Tabron has served on the Kellogg Company's board of directors since 2014.

The Kellogg Foundation has supported "beyond policing" research that advocates defunding the police. The foundation’s grants helped launch the Black Lives Matter movement, and it has supported a fund in Philadelphia that bailed out hundreds of rioters in in 2020.

The foundation also funded a $500 monthly income for illegal immigrants, effectively subsidizing law-breaking. It has a long track record of supporting open-borders groups. The foundation gave nearly $900,000 to Tides Advocacy, which helped start the Abolish ICE movement.

Finally, like all left-wing organizations, the Kellogg Foundation has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to Planned Parenthood.

It’s not just that corporate America makes no effort to appeal to conservative customers. Companies actively use our money to oppose our interests.

If you just take conservative voters from 2020 and break down how much of the nation’s gross domestic product they represent, the cumulative total topped $7 trillion. That would be the third-largest country in the world by GDP, only behind the United States and China. Yet corporate America not only doesn’t market toward us, but it spits in our face by using our money to subsidize left-wing radicals.

Frankly, what Kellogg’s is funding shouldn’t just upset conservatives. What the company is doing is anti-American. Kellogg's is backing movements that the majority of the country opposes. The majority of Americans are opposed to cutting police funding, just as the majority of Americans are opposed to abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.

The power of our wallets is immense, and it’s about time we realize that. Conservatives simply should not have Pop-Tarts in their pantry. (There are conservative alternatives to Kellogg’s products on PublicSq.) Unless you are buying Soros-branded cereal, just about any other company is a better choice than Kellogg’s.

Every corporation has a part that is probably not acceptable.

Why consume Pop-Tarts, Frosted Mini-Wheats, Frosted Flakes?

Save money, just eat a bowl of sugar. It’s a lot cheaper and has about the same nutritive value.

Anything would be better than eating that crap. I was never really impressed with any of those products to begin with.

Here’s a link that includes a list of their products. It’s nothing anyone couldn’t easily live without. They are big into plant based protein for fake meat products, it seems.

Kelloggs is merely a delivery system for commodity starch and corn syrup to feed the masses.

their stuff is overly-sweetened, high glycemic, zero-nutrition crap.

Its why Americans are obese - partially because they over-eat, but also because they have been lied to about what “nutrition” really is, and how/when/where they should eat.

If you like overly-sweetened, high glycemic, zero-nutrition crap, there are cheaper store brands available of the exact same products

Leftists hiding from academia as “Moderates” and “Liberals” have taken over many foundations founded by the fortunes of free enterprise entrepeneurs who built successful corporations.

A good Conservative “benevolent dictator” (LOL) would temporarily nationalize them on a Friday and reopen them on a Modnay with all new boards and staff. Of course I don’t seek or want any so-called benevolent dictator, but the idea is a statement of how hard it will be to undo these traitorous organizations.
