One woman at the demonstration told WWMT, “There is no way that you can deny that it is doing something negative to your body. It doesn’t belong there. It’s not natural. It shouldn’t be in our food.”
The protest comes after Kellogg’s faced a boycott when its CEO suggested families struggling under inflation in the Biden-Harris economy should “eat cereal for dinner,” Breitbart News reported in March.
Also in March, one of the company’s shareholders publicly demanded accountability for the “harmful additives” in their products offered to consumers, Breitbart News reported.
Per the recent WZZM article, a pediatrician from Los Angeles, California, identified as Dr. Patrick Joseph Walsh, joined the protesters on Tuesday.
He stated:
Our kids are getting sicker and sicker, and it’s time to address this head-on. Fifty percent of our children now suffer from a chronic disease. One in three children are diabetic or pre-diabetic. Obesity is at an all-time high. When I was born zero states had a 20% obesity rate. Now every single state has at least a 20% obesity rate.
Dr. Will Cole, who is a functional medicine practitioner, spoke to demonstrators at the event, according to WOOD. “I would venture to assume that the average person at the top of Kellogg’s doesn’t often buy or feed their family the cereals they’re putting in the grocery aisles. Would you assume that?” He said.
“Because they know what’s in those foods,” Cole added:
In 2016, Kellogg’s pulled ads from the Breitbart News website “because its 45,000,000 monthly conservative readers are not ‘aligned with our values as a company,’” Breitbart News reported at the time.
In response, the news organization launched a #DumpKelloggs petition and called for a boycott.
“The decision by Kellogg’s, which makes Pringles, Eggo waffles, as well as Special K and Frosted Flakes cereals, among others, will make virtually no revenue impact on Breitbart.com,” the article read.
“It does, however, represent an escalation in the war by leftist companies like Target and Allstate against conservative customers whose values propelled Donald Trump into the White House,” it stated.
