Their crap is both GMO and contains “natural flavorings”. Natural flavorings are derived from aborted human fetal kidney cells.

Seriously.

That’s why Cheerios cannot be sold outside of the US.

Well Elon is already planning to move away from an advertiser-based model, so GM can hit the bricks.

I am ok with putting general mills on the do not buy list. Kelloggs is already on it. No name brand it is.

More Woke Companies To Avoid: List #5
by The BSC TeamJanuary 21, 2022

Excerpt:

“#44: General Mills

General Mills SYM:GIS Food: Misc and Diversified Rev: $17,627 MC: $37,660

In order to attain a perfect score on the HRCF’s Workplace Equality for LGBTQ rating, a company must disregard the rights of employees that don’t embrace that lifestyle and culture. General Mills has received that perfect score fifteen times now. General Mills – the parent company of Cheerios, Pillsbury, Yoplait, and Nature Valley – engages in indoctrination-style employee training, puts on a Pride Ride Car Parade at their facilities each June, and sponsors a “National Coming Out Day.” Additionally, General Mills eagerly supported Black Lives Matter, and they have overwhelmingly supported Democrat political candidates in recent years.

Considering that Nabisco is also on our list at #20, and is equally woke as General Mills, our alternatives for readily available prepared foods are limited. But there are smaller, regional and local brands that are often available. Those products may be slightly more expensive, but chances are they’re healthier for you and are produced by an organization that’s far more respectful of your principles.”

“ aldi cereals...close enough”

They are so close to Cheerios that I wonder if Aldi’s are made by General Mills. I just compared their ingredient lists to find them almost identical except that Cheerios has some added sugar while Aldi has none. I prefer no added auger in. cereal anyway.

"fascism can't happen here"

It's been happening here for a while. Hopefully it's not too late to turn back the tide. Things like this force people and companies to choose a side, censorship or free speech.
