Previously this Kellogg announcement would be cause for celebration by the determined groups whose complaints are designed to cause exactly this, while the company would bask in the echo chamber adulation. However, Breitbart hit back with a dumpkelloggs hashtag that trended #1 on Twitter while Kellogg social media was bombarded with comments, mostly negative. It didn't help that Kellogg almost simultaneously was accused of benefiting from child labor in the 3rd world or of sexism in the workplace. A video of somebody urinating on a Kellogg cereal conveyor belt resurfaced ("who peed in the cornflakes? This guy) while Kellogg products were lambasted for being unhealthy processed trash. Then Kellogg won the prime award for misrepresented food Downunder, with a processed offering "for ironmen" that is 25% sugar.

Point is that this strategy of targeting opponents for boycott is no longer a one-way street: conservative groups now have shown that they too can use product boycott as a defensive weapon. Independent commentators now observe that cornflakes ought to be apolitical (what a surprise.)

Seems that Kellogg's posturing for the echo chamber has precipitated focus on the health value of its heavily processed food. Academics now are piling on with statistics about sugar and health. I think Kellogg may rue the day that it politicized the breakfast table and needs to get its head around healthier offerings if it hasn't already- especially since it's Trump's ferals/deplorables who are most likely to eat Froot Loops, not the echo chamber intelligentsia with their rolled oats and kofu.


This is all very interesting but I do not allow political correctness to be a big influence on my meals :) I like veal, so I eat it occasionally. For the most part, I have always preferred the foods that are tampered with the least....
