Kellogg’s CEO Suggests Cash-Strapped
Families Suffering Under Inflation Eat
‘Cereal for Dinner’

Original Article

American families struggling with high food prices due to inflation should eat cereal for dinner in order to save money, Kellogg’s CEO Gary Pilnick, who has an estimated net worth of $15.7 million, said. It’s no secret that American families are suffering due to inflation under the Biden administration. Kellogg’s CEO Gary Pilnick, a multi-millionaire, views the issue as a great opportunity to market his company’s brand, suggesting that cash-strapped families eat “cereal for dinner.” “The cereal category has always been quite affordable, and it tends to be a great destination when consumers are under pressure,” Pilnick told CNBC

Guy obviously doesn’t know how expensive cereal is now. I remember when Niixon and Ford were president CBS news used to send Bill Plante shopping for the same basket of groceries every week just to show how bad inflation was - of course they stopped doing that when Carter came into office.

What's for dinner in Biden's America? Cereal and bugs. But the illegal aliens have full shopping carts whenever I go to Walmart.

I shop for our church food pantry. The cost of cereal is through the roof. Have to wait until something goes on sale before purchasing the large quantities I need.

Except that cereal is now boxed in smaller boxes and priced at a higher price. Then there's the price of milk. There's no value in eating cereal three times a day. No joke. Bidenomics at work.

Yea, eat foods that are manufactured with high fructose corn syrup and loaded with empty carbs that do nothing but harm your body. As you age cancer will develop and then you are beholden to big pharma who will have hospitals pump you full of synthetic poison so that they all can make big profits. Eat healthy and shop sales. You can do it but you need to be deliberate. Its a matter of life and death.

Cereal is expensive. Way too expensive. My family used to eat breakfast for dinner at times but for us it was eggs, pancakes and bacon or sausage - all of which are way too expensive now.

I don't think this marketing is working. Snoop Dog and Master P have a cereal out that's really cheap (approximately $3/box), but some people are saying, based on the many ingredients, it's attempted genocide. Even Walmart won't carry it. Shame on those multi-millionaires. The price of cereal was high before biden; I can't imagine what it's like now. Leftist policies are driving us back to the days of being self-sustained. Grow any food you can so you'll have something to provide for you and your family when they break the world.

Founder John Harvey Kellogg, was a strange fellow, who believed in meatless living and "clean" living. He was also rather odd by modern standards (Wikipedia): "Kellogg founded the Race Betterment Foundation, which became a major center of the new eugenics movement in America. Kellogg was in favor of racial segregation in the United States and he also believed that immigrants and non-whites would damage the white American population's gene pool."

Way ahead of you, Gary, but I prefer the other brands. FYI, cereal prices have doubled in the past four years so it's not that great as a money saver. The milk is no bargain either.

Box of cereal at Aldi is usually less than $2 a box. It is so much cheaper than the name brands at the big grocery stores makes me think that the name brands are marking their products up way more than cost of production.

In an interview with CBS, Sanders made the sensible point that you cannot have tens of thousands of people entering the country illegally, which is currently happening with the support of the Biden regime: We have a disaster at the border, there was an effort to pass something, there’s a lot of politics that’s going on.

Most Americans think Joe Biden’s policies will cause prices to rise, a poll of registered voters by CBS News and YouGov shows. As the U.S. economy approaches the third anniversary of the explosion of inflation that has sent the cost of living soaring and real wages plunging, a solid majority of registered voters think Biden’s policies will cause prices to go up. Less than a fifth think his policies will bring prices down. The CBS-YouGov poll results released Sunday showed that 55 percent of registered voters say Biden’s policies will make prices go up. Seventeen percent said his policies will make prices fall. Twenty-seven percent said his policies will

The United States is expected to be grappling with more than 8 million asylum seekers and migrants who will have crossed over the southern border by September. The staggering figure represents a 167 percent surge in five years and underscores the challenges faced by what is both an underfunded and antiquated immigration system. The vast majority of the 8 million are now free to roam US streets, including 2 million 'high-priority' cases of career criminals seeking asylum. The system appears to be struggling to cope with the rapid numbers of migrants flowing across the border, which reached an all-time high of 302,000 monthly crossings in December.

In interpreting criminal statutes, it seems to me that Courts should not be creative and expansively read into them things that the legislature which writes the laws did not clearly proscribe as illegal, and it appears that finally, courts higher than the highly partisan D.C.

January featured layoffs at the Los Angeles Times, Sports Illustrated, Time, National Geographic, and Business Insider.
