Cereal is expensive. This is bad advice even without considering the conflict of interest or the fact this man is a tool.

Maybe he likes being a tool, tools repair things.

Fuck Kellogg's but buying cereal in those bulk bags instead of in boxes literally makes cereal cost half as much. You pay out the ass for the privilege of a box.

In my experience, you save more buying cereal in bulk than most other foods, even ones more commonly bought in bulk.

"Let them eat cake."

As he should.

It's a crime that many people have to fight to merely exist then this piece of shit decides to rub it in by suggesting those folks eat cereal for dinner, as though that's a realistic or fair solution to the problem, especially while full well knowing he's going home to a 5-star dinner likely cooked by a private chef.

The Race Betterment Foundation was a eugenics and racial hygiene organization founded in 1914 at Battle Creek, Michigan by John Harvey Kellogg due to his concerns about what he perceived as "race degeneracy".

weird, considering how the founder of Kellogg's was such a great guy.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Just to clarify, John Harvey Kellogg is not the founder of Kellogg. His brother, Will Keith founded the cereal company. John Harvey owned a sanitarium and advocated all sorts of kooky things, mostly “health” related, as broadly as that term was considered at the time. IIRC Will Keith didn’t seem to share a lot of his brother’s beliefs but was more than happy to sell the cereals his brother promoted as beneficial to his adherents.

Of course, a wealthy industrialist supporting racist beliefs at the turn of the last century would be pretty common, but I don’t know specifically about W. K. Kellogg’s beliefs.

I stopped eating breakfast most days. Don't need it. I rarely eat cereal when I do. And I used eat cereal so much when I was younger. Then I realized even the "healthy" cereal is not good for you. Just sugar disguised as something else.

When the commercials say [brand] [product] is a part of this complete breakfast, it would still be a complete breakfast with the cereal removed.

All Capitalists Are Bastards.

American Cops are bullies, they might beat you to death, but a capitalist... They won't even leave a drop of blood after sucking your exploited husk dry.

Even fascists will remember who they kill as some monstrous victory of hatred in their fucked, genocidal heads, as the murder is the point, but capitalists are the opposite in temperament: cold, unfeeling reptiles. They'll knowingly poison a town of children if it means more profit, pay the paltry fine, and never bother learning the name of the town they poisoned, just an irrelevant speedbump to glorious profit.

It is just business after all. And it's bonkers what that phrase has successfully become an accepted excuse for, despite essentially having the same meaning as "just following orders."

The cops are just the capitalist's boots on the ground.

Don't forget a major contributor to minority oppression, too. Police in Capitalistic society are multifaceted and multi-roled.
