It’s everywhere
Like corporate greenwashing only trans-color.
Oh look, a box of 98% sugar “cereal” that’s pushed on kids via cute animals and endless tv ads – but this one is different, because it’s about…um…telling kids to be trans inclusive.
They even put out a press release.
BATTLE CREEK, Mich., May 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Limited-edition Together With Pride cereal hits shelves across the country today, marking the latest collaboration between Kellogg Company and GLAAD. LGBTQ+ icons and friends of GLAAD will start their day with the new cereal to celebrate that no matter who you are or who you love, you are too awesome to fit into a (cereal) box. Fans can get involved by joining the #BoxesAreForCerealChallenge via TikTok and for every box purchased and by uploading your receipt, Kellogg will donate $3* (up to $140,000) to support GLAAD’s efforts in accelerating acceptance and advancing equality for the LGBTQ+ community.
Isn’t that lovely? They’re not about flogging disgusting unhealthy sugar-cereal on kids for $$$, they’re about inclusion and drastic surgery for children.
“Together With Pride cereal marks the latest chapter in a years long partnership with GLAAD and is the evolution of the much-loved All Together cereal, which previously was only available online,” said Doug VanDeVelde, General Manager of Kellogg U.S. Cereal Category. “Our delicious new recipe features berry-flavored, rainbow hearts dusted with edible glitter. We can’t wait for fans to try our latest limited run.”
That edible glitter is sugar, and so are the “berry-flavored” rainbow hearts. It’s not food, it’s sugar-addiction started early, and it’s made Kellogg rich. Now Kellogg wants kids to get themselves mutilated and stuffed with puberty-blockers. How “kind.”
“Boxes are for cereal, not people” is the embodiment and celebration of Kellogg Company’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, not just within Kellogg Company, but also at the tables of our cereal fans coast to coast. As Kellogg has grown its multiyear allyship with GLAAD, the company hopes to spread the word on allyship and show its support for the transgender and gender nonconforming communities.”
It’s very young children who eat this garbage, so I guess Kellogg’s is recruiting? Hey kids, be trans, it will make you lots of friends among sugar-cereal companies.
“Kellogg’s new Together With Pride cereal will create opportunities for homes and families to have conversations about the importance of acceptance, compassion and understanding, especially when it comes to LGBTQ+ youth,” said GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis. “Kellogg is not only building on an ongoing commitment to support the LGBTQ+ community, but initiatives that spotlight the importance of using correct pronouns to create safe and welcoming spaces for trans and nonbinary people.”
Wow. They really are recruiting – zombie allies if not actual soldiers. Get started on the Magic Pronouns indoctrination early!
Are you familiar with Dr. Kellogg’s views on sexuality?
And the cereal comes with little tags for your pronouns. With blank spaces if you’re just so special that you need bespoke ones to capture your unique specialness.
Here, use these categories to make up a box for yourself, decorate the box so everyone knows exactly what box you are in, and sit in it forever, all the while talking about how wonderful it is not to be stuck in a box.
What, no unicorn on the box?
I’m pretty sure all that hateful, identity-denying talk of not fitting into boxes is literal violence…
So if we’re assuming that “p is literal violence” conveys useful, i.e., distinguishing information, what isn’t literal violence?
Beating up 80-year-old TERFs with baseball bats.
Never did like Kellogs anyway.
Wait, so they’re selling boxes of deformed Froot Loops in honor of Pride?
Uh … interesting message to send out there, Kellogg’s …
I think it should be considered a social message, not a political one.
Also, the woke lefties who thinks trans is special do NOT buy commercial cereal for their little snowflakes. Kellogg should get a new marketing researcher.
Except that they do. More and more, I notice that even in the most reactionary circles, the percentage of people that avoid the products of Big Food, or even avoid meat, is rather small. As far as I can tell, most people just eat whatever in their personal lives, and talk a lot.
I’m reminded of the time when an acquaintance told me that she had just heard a radio show where some a very ideological vegan White woman said that if you can’t be vegan for geographic or economic reasons, you should be “a vegan ally”. Presumably meaning an ally to the Real Vegans = the privileged white men (maybe she believed that White women were super-privileged, too).
I have friends and relatives who are vegans on animal welfare grounds. As a confirmed carnivore, I point out to therm the distinction between 1. proclaimed vegans and 2. true vegans.
Restaurant patrons have a right to inspect the kitchen where their food is prepared. A true vegan will claim this right, inspect the kitchen, and if there is any sign of insect (eg house fly, blowfly) or rodent (eg rat, mouse) control in operation, will refuse to eat there.
Omar, on those terms, a vegan should never drink orange juice. Or use ground pepper, which often has ant legs in it. I would wager none of our food is insect free; the government regulates how much non-four-legged animal matter can be in it, but doesn’t make it animal free. That’s probably impossible.
I’ve brought this up to vegan friends; they either pretend insects aren’t animals, or they ignore me. (Everyone seems to ignore biology these days. Not on this site, of course.)
Iknklast:
I think it is getting fashinable to ignore biology these days of transwhatevery and such. The existence of a mere two (2) sexes is a bit of a bore, and so passe. I mean, it’s about as simple as it can get.
Perhaps there is another universe where chromosomes are in triads, so that each offspring would have 3 biological parents. Think of the consequences for opera, popular music and art!
I could go on: 4 sexes; 5 perhaps…..
