I ate Frosted Flakes and CoCo Puffs as a kid - the last time I tried a cereal like these as an adult it was as sugary as candy. Way too sweet!

Back in the 80’s, my Local had workers from Hormel come to our monthly meeting. What I heard about what was going on and the treatment of the Employees had me so pissed off that ever since then.. to this day, no Hormel products in my home. Kellogg's will be next if they continue this action. It’s my way of showing solidarity even tho I’m retired Union

The question is why won't Kellogg recognize that their workers helped Kellogg through the pandemic by working incredible hours and pay them decent wages when Kellogg realized such profits? Keep in mind that just because a person or a company can do something doesn't mean it should do that something.

The tweet that started this thread said that Kellogg made record profits and wanted to CUT workers' pay and benefits. So not only were they making record profits, they wanted to increase them on the back of the workers.

Steel cut oats, topped with nuts and seeds, including perhaps some walnuts, chia, and hemp? (especially the hemp, will add protein)

Toss in a few raisins (few!), or some chopped apples, if you can handle the sugar.

Beats anything out of a box, by miles.

Bob's Red Mill has organic quick-cooking steel cut oats. Fix up the bowl the night before (oats plus whatever plus water), put in the fridge, in the morning pop in the microwave at half power for 7-10 minutes, you're good to go.

I like the Kashi cinnamon cheerio knock-off as an occasional alternative, but I've found my oatmeal recipe really works better in my diet as a standard.

Twenty to twenty five percent is a whole lot of sales. And I do like Kellogg's foods, but if the leaders do
fire all union workers, ...............I will never buy that brand again.......................................

Stop feeding these ghouls with public money. See how that affects the minds of TPTB at Kelloggs. I'm guessing they'll fucking notice.

We're in the middle of a pandemic where alot of these companies made record profits while regular people wound up on bread lines, ie a K shaped recovery. It is the workers who risked getting covid, who worked long hours, who kept this economy running - and it is the workers who deserve to be paid and treated properly, full stop.
