Breitbart News organized the boycott after Kellogg withdrew their advertising from Breitbart News, claiming that the site and its conservative readers were not “aligned with our values as a company.”
The boycott, which has also taken place under the hashtag #DumpKelloggs, has generated thousands of posts on Facebook and Twitter, with the official Kellogg’s Facebook pages for various products being bombarded with complaints from Breitbart’s readers.
“We regularly work with our media-buying partners to ensure our ads do not appear on sites that aren’t aligned with our values as a company,” said Kellogg’s Kris Charles in a statement this week. “We recently reviewed the list of sites where our ads can be placed and decided to discontinue advertising on Breitbart.com. We are working to remove ads from that site.”
Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alexander Marlow encouraged the boycott of Kellogg’s products, describing their war against

Cheez-Its are a favorite of mine.
But the cracker aisle has many more choices. Time to experiment (just not Kellogg products)
NEVER touch any of these products. Not healthy.
where is the petition?
Eggs-actly! My wife makes her own granola. I prefer hot cereal — slow-cooked whole grains, not the sugar-laden instant variety. For instance, I put some steel-cut oatmeal into my rice cooker, just before going for my shower. When I’ve showered and dressed, a piping hot, delicious, and nutritious breakfast awaits. It’s really that easy to avoid the processed, packaged stuff.
Maybe this is piling on, but people ought to know:

And that's the problem. General Foods and General Mills are big abortion/Planned Parenthood supporters. Those are you Big Three in the breakfast cereal business.
have the coastal elites ever thought that maybe we, the people, rebelled against not just the Democrat government telling us what to think, but against corporations trying to do the same?
It’s one thing to change up advertising contracts. No big deal. But to accompany it with a political statement in effect pissing off potentially half the customers tells me that Kellogg considers political correctness at the expense of losing customers (virtue signaling) to be more important than presenting value to shareholders. Yet another Twentieth Centuries Motors.
DIE, KELLOGG, DIE! Make room in the marketplace for another company not run by HR zampolits.
Libtards told us it was “wrong” to boycott certain Hollywood actors/directors/screenwriters based on political views (Communists) yet when the Left does it we are told it is because they are “principled”.
Yeah cheez-it’s are a weakness of mine, too. Time to find something else.
We have Aldi grocery stores and they carry a generic brand of cereals that are every bit as good as the brand names. Not that we eat much cereal, but when we have, I notice no different between the brand name and the generic, other than the generic being 1/2 the price.
Kellogg was also a proponent of circumcision to combat teen masturbation.
Very strange man.
“The US diet would improve immeasurably if Kellogg’s products were eliminated. They are all very high in sugar/carbs and contribute to obesity and diabetes.”
i’ve been referring to soda pop as “diabetes water”, think i’ll start calling sugared breakfast cereal “diabetes flakes” or “diabetes flakes for tykes”.
The Kellogg worker pissing on the Frosted Flakes was enough to lose me.

Pepsico branded an Obama style Hope/Change campaign after he was crowned and then backlashed against Trump supporters when Queen Hillary lost.
Haha, Kellogg’s.
Guess you didn’t learn from Target, etc.
Enjoy.
Kellogg’s was out about not supporting my values a few years ago:

“At Kellogg, we’re an evolving culture that respects and accepts employees’ sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression so that all employees can be authentic and fully engaged,” the ad, which appeared in Altanta’s Pride Guide, reads.
