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

“The US diet would improve immeasurably if Kellogg’s products were eliminated.”
And if people shopped the PERIMETER of the Grocery store - Meat, Dairy, Veggies & Fruits. Stay OUT of the middle of the store!
Bake your own whole wheat breads, eat rolled oats for breakfast and get on with your life.
But...I digress. :)
Just a suggestion: Do as my grandmother did until she passed away. Look at the item and, if it is made by Kelloggs, put it back on the shelf. In her case, it was “Made in Japan.” My uncle, even though he survived, was at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
“I think Kellogg’s should change the name of their headquarters location from Battle Creek, Michigan to “Chicken Shit, Michigan”. More appropriate.”
Bet snail mail would sill arrive if addressed as you say.
Go with the Zip+4 to be sure. :)

I have only used zip codes in the last few years——no town,no state.
Everything arrives on time.

Good, but you are being to kind in this endeavor. Hit me below the belt and I will assume you want to change the rules of a fair fight. Kelloggs, Look Out!
One think I love about Andrew’s little website is that in his spirit they fight hard and well.
from the site
“Breitbart News is the largest platform for pro-family content anywhere on the Internet. We are fearless advocates for traditional American values, perhaps most important among them is freedom of speech, or our motto ‘more voices, not less,’” declared Marlow. “For Kellogg’s, an American brand, to blacklist Breitbart News in order to placate left-wing totalitarians is a disgraceful act of cowardice. They insult our incredibly diverse staff and spit in the face of our 45,000,000 highly engaged, highly perceptive, highly loyal readers, many of whom are Kellogg’s customers.”
“Boycotting Breitbart News for presenting mainstream American ideas is an act of discrimination and intense prejudice,” he continued. “If you serve Kellogg’s products to your family, you are serving up bigotry at your breakfast table.”
Breitbart President and CEO Larry Solov mirrored Marlow’s response, branding the move as “un-American.”
“Kellogg’s has shown its contempt for Breitbart’s 45 million readers and for the main street American values that they hold dear,” said Solov. “Pulling its advertising from Breitbart News is a decidedly cynical and un-American act. The only sensible response is to join together and boycott Kellogg’s products in protest.”

Serves them right.
Oh good grief!
Well at least stores still carry the cereal in a bag on the bottom shelf.

Can’t tell the difference between Kelloggs and Malt O Meal and MOM is affordable.
I don’t eat that junk.
Apple just did the same thing today - declared Breitbart a “fake news” site. I posted it in Facebook with notation I will never buy or use anything Apple again. (Easy for me - I hate Apple products.)
Dissing conservatives right after the electoral map turned bright red from sea to shining sea is a profoundly stupid move. Target and ESPN-level stupid.
Ab Fab......these Pie-Holes that think they can say anything without repercussions continue to amaze me
Until Trump there WERE no repercussions
Ring a Ling Clue Phone....It’s for you....ESPN, Macys, Starbucks, now Kellogs ad infinitum.... Follow the downward curve in your shareholder accountability..... Limosine Libtard Enemies of Decency and Common Sensibilities......Pelosi-Led Angry Zombie Brigade
The BEST thing about Trump is that he has given us our voice
Until now, we had no leader nor a voice
They’re bad for you anyway.
