The W.K. Kellogg Foundation, which maintains strong financial ties to the Kellogg Company, has provided at least $930,000 in support of the controversial work of the Black Lives Matter organization.
The financing is listed on the Foundations website. It includes a June 1, 2016 grant to the International Development Exchange, which is in a contractual relationship with Black Lives Matter to process donations for the group.
The Associated Press reported the International Development Exchange, also known as IDEX, has been acting as a mostly unseen financial arm of Black Lives Matter, with the ability to receive grants and tax-deductible donations on the groups behalf.
More recently, the relationship evolved into a contractual partnership that will run through at least mid-2017, the AP reported.
On June 1, 2015, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation provided $30,000 to the Praxis Project, Inc. to support, according to the charitys website, the inaugural BlackLivesMatter Chapter Retreat.
On Tuesday, the Kellogg Company announced its decision to pull ads from Breitbart News, explaining its 45,000,000 monthly readers are not aligned with our values as a company. In response, the news agency launched a #DumpKelloggs petition and has called for a boycott of the famous food manufacturer.
Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alexander Marlow encouraged the boycott of Kellogg products:
The W.K. Kellogg Foundation, meanwhile, was founded in 1930 by breakfast cereal pioneer Will Keith Kellogg, and has gone on to become one of the largest philanthropic foundations in the U.S.
Kellogg himself set up an endowment for the foundation by donating Kellogg Company stock and other investments to fund the charity.

Why do big corporate entities almost always skew way, way to the Left? Thats what I want to know.
My guess is the Left is more likely to make a visually negative scene, therefore they are pandered to. Like muslims or blacks, they break stuff when things don’t go their way.
Dang! Penzey’s? We love their spices but oh well. We’ll start looking for alternatives.
It's protection money.
Found an alternative for now. They are related to the penzey family though.

It’s been awhile since I’ve had a nicely burnt marshmallow. I turn them slowly over the fire, not letting them catch fire, until they turn brown on the outside and gooey on the inside.
I like marshmallows stale and chewy, too.
Once I left a package of Peeps in my car during the day. When I got off work, my car smelled strongly of Peeps. The Peeps themselves were deliciously completely gooey on the inside, with a nice sugar crust... so good, I ate the whole package!
Okay, I admit it—I have a thing about marshmallows.
I’ve heard that sometimes the store brand is made at the same factory as the brand name brand, just packaged differently.
I don’t want to support Kellogg’s at all now, not even by buying differently packaged store brands.

In recent times, the ruling media class held power over the leaders of these corporations, threatening to destroying them with bad press if they didn’t align with the brave new world.
It will take a while before some of them realise the Trump Revolution has overthrown the Mainstream Media and that they are now the lamestream media. Some will try to resist of course.

I’ve called Penzey’s...and left a message for CEO Bill...that this LONG TIME customer will NOT be purchasing spices/flavorings for my Christmas baking and gift giving, ever again.
When you call their 800#, there is an option to leave him a message. Hope he’s getting a nice earful.
Stale peeps are the only way to eat peeps.
I’m surprised they don’t sell them that way. :>)
I am in no danger of eating anything off this part of their list

Typically the big brands do NOT want to cannibalize their own brands by running store-brands as well.
Store brands are usually produced by other 3rd party companies who focus on low cost, no advertising, working with supermarkets, etc...
Me, either. It’s mostly sugar and starch.
Good for you!
Wonder if he can survive on illegals using their EBT cards?
We have bought Eggos for our grandkids.
No more.
They or we can make them french toast or my famous 2 minute to prepare and 1.5 minute to cook omelets.
My wife had a recipe calling for 2 cups of corn flakes. Yesterday, we bought the Walmart brand. The stocker told us that all week Walmart’s corn flakes were going out faster than they could re stock them. In fact they were out of the standard size box. I told the stocker why, and she said good.
No more Kellogg’s cereal for me.The dirty treasonous cop killing baftards!
I will now eat nothing but Quaker cereals.
