Kellogg Co. announced on Tuesday its decision to pull ads from conservative media giant Breitbart.com because its 45,000,000 monthly conservative readers are not “aligned with our values as a company.” In response, Breitbart News, one of the world’s top news publishers, has launched a #DumpKelloggs petition and called for a boycott of the ubiquitous food manufacturer.

All that processed cereal crap kills people or screws them up. Then they pack it in sugar. And they wonder why half the population is diabetic. My advice would be eat that garbage rarely.
Because there was this $1/box sale several weeks ago, I got Frosted Flakes — I had forgotten how much SUGAR (or whatever they’re using) was on that.
It was awful. It all got 1) turned into dog food (only slowly so they don’t overdose) and 2) other boxes donated away.
Never again. Especially now.
As a kid I ate as much sugar frosted flakes as I could get my hands on. I remember swinging through the trees, climbing telephone poles and digging tunnels under the neighbors houses. I blame it on Tony.
I remember putting sugar on my cereal as a kid. Now, no.....
And they got rid of my favorite Post Toasties. Years ago. Dang.
PING!
I think I will only miss their fruit bar...that is the only breakfast bar that did not taste like sawdust! NO BIG LOSS
That hurts.....I love those but until the powers that be at Kelloggs apologizes, I won’t buy them anymore. Matter of fact, I just bought Hub some Raisin Brand which will go back to Kroger tomorrow! I have no time for self-righteous idiots!!
Your recent advertising decisions to imply that anyone who goes to a particular website are not ‘consistent’ with your corporate identity is extremely disappointing. Having been one of your consumers for a great many years, I too thought I was consistent with your corporate identity.
However, apparently your company has moved on and has decided that I'm no longer welcome as a customer as I might read something which some neerdowell has deemed inappropriate.
Which is truly a shame, as I thought you were selling breakfast cereals and other products my family has long enjoyed. Instead, your company has chosen to instead focus on marketing political content? Honestly, I'm just mystified by the whole thing.
When your company again chooses to focus on the products it sells rather than the blurry message you're presently sending, do let me know. Until then, thankfully, my local market produces a great line of similar products to the ones you sell, and they at least don't go trying to paint their customers as bigots.
Thanks; we did manage to find someone selling the movie and we bought the DVD; so I’ll get to see it soon. :-)
Post is better anyway.
All that stuff is over-processed garbage.
Done and done. Oh btw, you can give them fake street names and zip codes, so don’t be intimidated by using a mobile device to do it
