emmmmm, Chlormequat
This is the greatest work of art I’ve ever made in 30 seconds in ProCreate:
Is this the same family that was Secretary of State? I can't seem to find info on a quick search if they are different family branches of Kellogg
I salute you, good sir!
Grains loaded with added sugars for your largest meal. Surely that won't contribute further to this country's health crisis, like it didn't already do that by marketing itself as healthy for growing children.
Odd that the words are so similar to "let them eat cake"
As the solution it led to was caused by LESS of a problem than exists now. The economic disparity of 18th century France was less than the disparity of today
It was done intentionally by the author. That exact quote wasn't said by the CEO (although his comments certainly give off that vibe).
The "Let them eat cake" was a political slander. IIRC she was actually quite sympathetic, but the revolution needed fuel.
Thomas Jefferson characterized her as an aloof stubborn person who's choices brought herself to the guillotine. I wouldn't say sympathetic, but pandered in hopes of avoiding harm to her and her immediate family, but without giving an actual shit about the country.
It was actually completely unrelated to the revolution. Voltaire was dead for a decade by the time the whole thing kicked off.
I think the version we have now was done more slowly so people didn't notice as much maybe. Lots more distractions today too
1kg Kellogg's cornflakes = €4.79
1.5kg Aldi porridge oats = €1.19
If I'm eating a cereal product for dinner I'll go with the more filling and versatile oats
Careful where the oats come from. Remember there was an article about oats in canada being grown with chemicals that were shown to decrease fertility. The U.S banned the product but not crops purchased elsewhere using the product.
I suggest that Gary Pilnick eat my ass for dessert.
One should never eat corn flakes.
So when do we pull out the guillotines?
stop asking and just do it
See the problem with lone gun activists is they get heavily punished. If the Jan 6th insurrection was performed by one dude he'd have been locked in prison for life.
concerted efforts of decentralized groups across multiple regions working in unison or cascade. theres a reason they are trying to buy and police the internet more and more. it allows for coordination on an unprecedented scale.
Stop buying half full cereal boxes.
What a piece of shit CEO. I wish they people would feel unsafe saying this type of stuff to struggling people.
That's where we come in. We can start with harsh words, but there's a damn good reason so many are making allegories to the French Revolution. Times like this are to put the wealthy on notice, that they too may fear finding themselves staring up from the bottom of baskets to a crowd cheering the waterfalls of blood coming from their neck stumps.
Fuck that. Oatmeal is way cheaper and more nutritious. If we're going that way I'm not giving Kelloggs money.
Like anybody reduced to eating cereal for dinner is buying fucking Kellogg's when they can get the Aldi version for like a third of the price.
Thats Kelloggs too but without the name. You cant get rid of greedy Corporations because they are their own competitors after buying them.
Yeah but it's still a third of the price
I don't think that's actually true for Kellogg's, who made a big deal of advertising the fact that they don't make cereal for other brands.
The Aldi ones are supposedly made by Malt-O-Meal.
As a child i always thought cornflakes in any shape are a good breakfast. As an adult i'm just scratching my head, wondering why we got diabetes for breakfast. If i'd be too poor to eat properly, cornflakes would ve the very first thing that has to go. But i don't eat them in the first place, so fuck you kellogs boy.
The original corn flakes has actually fewer calories than the special K counterpart. Talk about deceiving. Fuck them.
