Seems to have reached epidemic proportions: Campbell's Soup, JC Penney's, Macy's, Home Depot, Target, General Mills, Sears......

Post Toasties and I’m good.

Tasteos are just as good. General Mills not too long ago was an annual contributor to the bloody Planned Predators, and were proud of it.

I called their main office and asked the person who’s in charge of donations, if she ever thought that General Mills is contributing to an organization that is involved in killing 1,500,000 future baby food clients EVERY YEAR just here in U.S.A.? She had a prepared comment that was just plain stupid.

So, I asked her what does she think my boss would say if I told him that I was directing company funds to a group that will essentially dwindle my marketing base by 1,500,000 customers every year. Again, a prepared comment.

Incredible lack of common sense marketing logic. And then to be helping a disgusting organization whose prime goal is the destruction of 1,500,000 helpless American citizens. How that equates to good business management is beyond me.

Why the hell is General Mills getting involved in this? How exactly does manufacturing sweetened breakfast cereals qualify a company to speak to the morality of homosexual “marriage?”

Its arrogance, plain and simple.

I’m done with General Mills.

So, does General Mills, in the spirit of “inclusiveness,” also support consanguinity?

- sweetened breakfast cereals - may be the “tell” to this.

Isn't the WH leading a crackdown on sugary sweets? Perhaps a little strong-arm is at play here. Still, no need to roll over like a yellow dog, IMO.

So long General Mills.

LOL!

Post cereals are better, anyway. I can’t recall the last time I bought a Big G cereal.

[ScottinVA]

They just can’t resist getting into the act, can they... General Mills could’ve simply said it’s in the business of producing cereal and other food items, not influencing national or state policy.

But.. n-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!!!!!!!! GM just had to jump onto the “queer-as-the-in-thing” bandwagon.

I checked - my breakfast of choice is from Kelloggs.

The worst of it is that this has become such a wide-spread corporate agenda (taken from the gay agenda, at their urging) that now all opposition is deemed "stupid". From a liberal publication: "The statement comes two weeks after Minnesota for Marriage blasted Target for its pro-gay "Wear It With Pride" collection, calling it a "stupid move." We'll see come November, but recent polling suggests Minnesota for Marriage stands a better chance than ever of looking pretty stupid itself come Election Day. With a majority of survey respondents saying they think same-sex couples should be able to marry, at this point supporting gay marriage may simply be good business." http://blogs.citypages.com/blotter/2012/06/mn_for_marriage_on_general_mills_pro-glbt_stance_marriage_doesnt_matter_to_them.php

General Mills can kiss my Private Money goodbye. Generic cereals are just fine.

[moovova]

I’ll never look at that puckered little”O”, the Cheerio, again.

[Will88]

There’s a calculation here that corporations can pander to gays with little or no blowback from their more conservative customers. As long as there is no organized push back from conservatives, the corporations will be correct.

There is a good chance the generic cereal you are eating is made by General Mills or another large co...

These anti-family corporations must be laboring under the delusion that homosexuals live long lives and consume more of their products than those who live in families. They are wrong.

We drop every anti-family business from our shopping list and haven’t found it hard to spend our money elsewhere.

I did not know Sears came out of the closet. How disappointing. One more place to avoid.

Silly Rabbit. Trix are for Sodomites!
