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

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”.
I saw a show on TV awhile back that had recommendations for how to eat healthier. A couple of the recommendations that I remember are 1) Avoid foods prepared in a factory, and 2) Avoid foods advertised on TV.

Bill Maher laughs at such boycotts saying that he is immune from them since he is primarily on HBO (a pay subscription channel, which viewers can drop) but he frequently appears as a commentator on sister network CNN (Time-Lies-Warner-Turner is the parent company of both) which does have advertisers.
Defund the Left.

That is no way to speak to the enemy. Tell them to go to hell, don’t make nice. Cripes sake!
I believe most Aldi cereal varieties are up to around $1.69 or more a box — still not a bad deal. But, sometimes quality varies, with Aldi. (We still shop there a lot.) A while back, their Raisin Bran was more like chopped & glued oak leaves with raisins. Right now, it is pretty good. But, also right now, at least at our local Aldi, their shredded wheat is barely acceptable. Malto-Meal’s Mini-Spooners are much better.
I’m also a sucker for the Malto-Meal Cocoa-Dyno-Bites, even though I know it’s not good for me! Best “version” on the market, IMO. All the Malto-Meal cereals I like seem pretty consistent, and are usually a reasonable price. That includes the “original” Malto-Meal hot cereal, another “like” (with a little brown sugar and milk on it!)
Unfortunately, I have not purchased or consumed Kellog products for years. Therefore while willing I cannot truthfully say to them “I am not buying your cereals.”
I’m tired of companies waging liberal war on conservative news and agendas.
So, I can easily avoid Kellogg’s products from now on. Good riddance.

A much healthier world!

Thx for contact info. Told them they slapped a customer in the face. No more Kellogs in our house.
It is beneath the dignity of the Kellogg Company to sell its products to the citizens of any country that would elect Donald Trump.
Instead of “I’m not buying your product” I should have said “I have stopped buying your product.” Over the years I have found that editing ones self is a hopeless task.
Kris, now that is an interesting spelling...Charles? Must have been the two first names that messed up your thinking.
You and Kellogg’s are toast. Enjoy your forced retirement.
Note to all, Print out all the products made by Kellogg’s of Battle Creek, Michigan....you will be surprised.
Glad to know that I have not purchased ANY of those items in more than a DECADE.
I’ll continue with my boycott by omission. :)
maybe a sugar “high”. they really seem to like to sugar coat everything.
We are actively working to rid our kitchen of Kellogg’s products. Post cereals are good.
I think Kellogg’s should change the name of their headquarters location from Battle Creek, Michigan to “Chicken Shit, Michigan”. More appropriate.
