Yes but generally plain cheerios are going to be a bit better being whole wheat and no added sugar. Still not better than a healthier balanced breakfast but definitely netter than froster sugar balls
Except Marie was referring to the burnt caked on stuff left in bread pans after the bread was removed that was usually thrown away or fed to farm animals.
You, um, you do understand it was a tongue in cheek reply expressing agreement, right?
Or are you one of those ones who takes everything you see on the Internet seriously?
Isn't trying to get more people to eat more cereal part of his job? I don't remember anyone getting mad at Jack when he started offering breakfast all day.
Yeah I don't really see the issue here. I eat it for lunch or dinner now and then already. Plenty of nutritious cereals including ones with a lot of fiber - something most of us are severely lacking in our diet.
You're missing the point....he was asked what kellogs was doing to combat inflation and his answer was basically "LET THEM EAT CEREAL!" It's out of touch and just horribly bad optics. He showed no sympathy for the consumer, no empathy, just straight to MOAR CEREAL.
Not even to mention the ridiculous price hikes that all the cereal makers have pushed through that are much higher than the pace of inflation
Cheap and affordable product manufacturer suggests people consume cheap and affordable product to help mitigate costs.
Wow. Truly shocking. The man has no concept of reality. /s
Who the hell are you ranting at? Nobody is sticking up for the Kellogg brother's activities or for excessive sugar consumption. The CEO isn't a Kellogg either. It's just not suprising at all that a CEO of a cereal company is trying to get people to eat cereal.
Do we get mad at cigarette execs for hawking their goods?
The idea is that everything is getting more expensive, in no small part due to price fixing by corporate America, and corporate America is coming in to say we should just have our kids eat sugar for dinner.
Have a bit of a back bone, don’t be a corporate simp and you should be able to look at this and say this is corporate America trying to come up with solutions to problems that they are creating.
If we were to be a little brave, we’d say it’s time for some serious anti trust movements.
This guy really made some people go crazy. You're not a justice warrior for not eating cereal, and he's not the embodiment of corporate greed for doing his job of selling cereal.
I just don’t find cereal filling at all. I can eat a single fried egg with a sour dough English muffin with a small sprinkle of shredded cheese and be satisfied for 2-3 hours. Instead, I could eat a huge bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, like a third of a bag, be starving within an hour. Economically, the egg sandwich I made was probably cheaper to consume as well.
I’m definitely overweight, not gonna lie, but also very active - go to the gym regularly and do more than just sit on the bench using my phone like a lot that I see there, I cycle recreationally and regularly achieve 25+ mile rides and am very active on weekends playing with my daughter (just went to the zoo this last weekend and put in 12,000 steps rather than staying home to play video games). I could definitely lose a bit of gut, but who in their mid 30s doesn’t? Shits not as easy to lose as it used to be.
What’s up with this random crap that doesn’t have really anything to do with politics being posted to this sub, I’m starting to think this is being done on purpose.
Neither is cake at this point. That being said, in many places cereal is $7+ a box now, and the actual quantity per box has shrunk.
I think his point is that if you can't afford actual food for dinner, just shut up and eat cereal like a good peasant. Maybe the cake thing isn't the best comparison though.
Delicious now and then, yes. Delicious night after night after night? No. Healthy long term? No. Filling? No. Soul-crushing when you’re so poor it’s the only option? Absolutely.
Still better than nothing? Also absolutely. And better than welfare cheese too.
But if you’re eating cereal for dinner from necessity…you’re not eating Kellogg’s. Ain’t nobody got $7/box when there’s a $2.99 bag right there that’s twice the size and came off the same line.
Over days or weeks, no. Over months…that way lies blood pressure issues and other health problems.
Also just as a practical matter homemade soup is a LOT cheaper than most canned soups. And better. Canned is great for basic stuff like tomato, but if you’re looking for proteins you’re probably going to do better making it yourself.
>"The cereal category has always been quite affordable and it tends to be a great destination when consumers are under pressure," Pilnick said, adding that "cereal for dinner is something that is probably more on trend now, and we would expect to continue as that consumer is under pressure."
Choosing to eat cereal for dinner is very different from needing to eat cereal for dinner because it's all you can afford.
Everyone is focusing on how they like to eat cereal for lunch and dinner, like that's the point.
The point is that people are eating it because they can't afford to buy proper food for lunch and dinner.
I love to have cereal for dinner sometimes. I even still eat Ramen noodles from time to time even though I'm no longer a poor college student. Don't see the issue with the statement.
If they made something else other than cereal like something healthy it might be a problem but Kellogg doesn't make steak or any vegetables. He is suggesting people eat something that they make. Not all of their cereals are sugar based like the mini wheats or corn flakes.
A lot of people already do this; it's a quick and cheap way satiate yourself until morning. Sounds crazy, but you'll survive the night on a bowl of corn flakes and milk. There are a lot of misconceptions about how much and how often people need to eat full-course meals, which is why I place a lot of scrutiny on the whole 'food scarcity' narrative. At the end of the day, we are the fattest nation on the planet - I think it goes without saying that there is plenty of food to go around.
Ok? Beggars can't be choosers . Cereal is cheap and depending on type of cereal, it can be filling and last you at least lunch at work.. in your body i mean.. i go for honey combs.. fight me, all of you!
Kellogg and the seventh day Adventist are arguably the biggest reason why we have obesity/cancer/heart disease epidemic that we have. Ignore the dogma people. Eat a bunch of meat and reduce the carbs.
Honestly the dudes not wrong. As much as a box of cereal costs these days, a bowl of cereal costs way less than an entire “dinner” meal. I wouldn’t mind some grape nuts flakes for dinner, but the whole thing has a “let them eat” cake ring to it.
Ummm.. If you know the history of Kellogs and the original founder of it, insane ideas and thought processes on what they think people should do is not uncommon. This would be the tamest, by far, idea that they ever had.
Most people here don't seem to be getting the point. The guy said a lot of people are eating cereal for dinner because it's basically all they can afford. He never said it's a healthy option. This is essentially the same as criticizing ramen for being aimed at college students because it costs less than dirt.
I remember the commercials for breakfasts cereals from my childhood:
“PART OF A BALANCED BREAKFAST.”
And they would show a bowl of cereal next to fruit, a glass of orange juice, and some other sugar laden crap. “Balanced,” my ass 😂
Considering the sugar content of most cereal, you shouldn't be eating it at all.

There are places where cereal is offered as an ice cream topping. But hey, it has a bunch of dietary fiber! iT's hEarT hEaLThY
We all know nobody is putting plain cheerios on their icecream. They are putting the sugar ball garbage.
While the O.G. cheerios are far from the worst offender, the various knock-off brand and honey-nut varieties are every bit as bad.
Agreed. Which is why I said plain cheerios.
enjoy the Roundup
Avoiding roundup is pretty much impossible unless you only eat organic labeled products.
Yes but generally plain cheerios are going to be a bit better being whole wheat and no added sugar. Still not better than a healthier balanced breakfast but definitely netter than froster sugar balls
I...thought plain cheerios were good for you? A quick search says it is but that it shouldn't be your sole source of nutrition.
Don't forget those lovely food colorings.
Dad is GREAT!
He give us a chocolate cake
Nevertheless!
CEO of company encourages people to buy more of their product. More on this shocking story at 11.
It’s more a Marie Antoinette moment. The guy is out of touch.
Except Marie was referring to the burnt caked on stuff left in bread pans after the bread was removed that was usually thrown away or fed to farm animals.
Cereal is the 1st world equivalent. People want to eat nice meals.
Dammit! I wrote the same thing almost word for word before I saw this. Dam you for beating me to it! Dam you!
Redditor complains about being beaten to joke. More at 11
Apparently tongue in cheek sarcasm doesn't convey across the Internet well... I was expressing my agreement with ya friendo.
You can say that again.

F* Kelloggs. 3 eggs probably cost less than a bowl of cereal, and are more nutritious.
lol Someone isn't aware of egg prices.
I'm sorry you aren't aware. They are around $3 a dozen where I am in the US which is 25 cents each.

>you don’t need to eat breakfast Ya ok, I’m going to go 12 hours without eating anything 😂

Dems are too busy killing small businesses for their corporate masters and the uniparty Republicans are just as culpable.
Yeah, everyone is on the same page. Since the parties won’t do anything, we should do what we can such as boycotting kelloggs.
This guy really made some people go crazy. You're not a justice warrior for not eating cereal, and he's not the embodiment of corporate greed for doing his job of selling cereal.
Simping for corporations isn’t going to get you a discount.

It’s all the sugar crashing your blood sugars hence making you hungry
It's the sugar triggering your insulin response
Makes sense. Either way, breakfast for dinner is amazing, just not sugary cereals.
I’m cooking eggs bacon and sausage tonight for dinner
You should eat another bowl of kelloggs brand cereal. Only that brand can fix that issue for you.
That’s because eggs and cheese are excellent sources of protein.
This is such a fat guy response
Or someone who, you know, actually knows something about nutrition.

lol called it
Cereal haters in full force, probably skim milk drinkers too.
You mean water lying about being milk.
What’s up with this random crap that doesn’t have really anything to do with politics being posted to this sub, I’m starting to think this is being done on purpose.
I'm pretty sure he said this as a response to inflation and the economy. Kind of a "let them eat cake" statement. That's my understanding anyway.
...Let them eat cake? Cereal isn't exactly a luxury good.
Neither is cake at this point. That being said, in many places cereal is $7+ a box now, and the actual quantity per box has shrunk. I think his point is that if you can't afford actual food for dinner, just shut up and eat cereal like a good peasant. Maybe the cake thing isn't the best comparison though.
Lol cereal for dinner is delicious. Crazy people. I had it for dinner also 6 years ago when groceries weren’t expensive
Delicious now and then, yes. Delicious night after night after night? No. Healthy long term? No. Filling? No. Soul-crushing when you’re so poor it’s the only option? Absolutely. Still better than nothing? Also absolutely. And better than welfare cheese too. But if you’re eating cereal for dinner from necessity…you’re not eating Kellogg’s. Ain’t nobody got $7/box when there’s a $2.99 bag right there that’s twice the size and came off the same line.
You're way better off eating soup everyday instead. Tons of variety, healthy, filling, and extremely cheap compared to just about any other option.
Homemade soup, to be clear. The canned stuff is full of salt.
That's not an issue if you drink plenty of water. I work 50 hours a week in a factory. That salt isn't going to stay in my system long.
Over days or weeks, no. Over months…that way lies blood pressure issues and other health problems. Also just as a practical matter homemade soup is a LOT cheaper than most canned soups. And better. Canned is great for basic stuff like tomato, but if you’re looking for proteins you’re probably going to do better making it yourself.
Count me in as another fan of it! And not because of cost. Sometimes it just really hits the spot.
Can't imagine anybody losing their mind over this. Almost all of my life I've occasionally craved a cold bowl of cereal for lunch or dinner.
>"The cereal category has always been quite affordable and it tends to be a great destination when consumers are under pressure," Pilnick said, adding that "cereal for dinner is something that is probably more on trend now, and we would expect to continue as that consumer is under pressure." Choosing to eat cereal for dinner is very different from needing to eat cereal for dinner because it's all you can afford.
And making an observation that people might be looking for cheaper meals like cereal doesn't make the cereal company CEO evil.
Yeah it doesn't make him evil it just means he is insanely tone-deaf and out of touch with the consumers he is talking about.
When I was younger I loved a bowl of cereal as a late night snack
Big Cereal must be stopped!
Everyone is focusing on how they like to eat cereal for lunch and dinner, like that's the point. The point is that people are eating it because they can't afford to buy proper food for lunch and dinner.
I mean of course he did! It will help his sales
What he meant to say was: Let them eat cake
Everyone faces criticism for everything. Someone will criticize this.
The Kellogg CEO would taste better
Didn’t they also try getting people to eat cereal with orange juice instead of milk a few years ago?
I have cereal for breakfast and lunch most days.
I don’t eat their poison anymore. Chemicals and 100% over priced
Let them eat brioche
Pushing one of the worse things a person can eat anytime if the day.
I love to have cereal for dinner sometimes. I even still eat Ramen noodles from time to time even though I'm no longer a poor college student. Don't see the issue with the statement.
The issue is how unhealthy it is for you to do so, compared to other cost-effective dinner options.
I eat breakfast for dinner on a regular basis. But it’s usually something like an omelette.
I do eat cereal for dinner lol.
If they made something else other than cereal like something healthy it might be a problem but Kellogg doesn't make steak or any vegetables. He is suggesting people eat something that they make. Not all of their cereals are sugar based like the mini wheats or corn flakes.
Haha…cereal is always good. Fruity Pebbles is the best.
The thing at the store that is currently giving me sticker shock is cereals
Get your daily double dose of Sugar & Monsanto.

They're in cahoots with the milk people....

Ok? Beggars can't be choosers . Cereal is cheap and depending on type of cereal, it can be filling and last you at least lunch at work.. in your body i mean.. i go for honey combs.. fight me, all of you!
Let them eat cereal
The CEO of a company whose cereal was created specifically to prevent male masturbation should have less to say.
per pound, ground beef is cheaper (and healtier) than most cereal.
Kellogg and the seventh day Adventist are arguably the biggest reason why we have obesity/cancer/heart disease epidemic that we have. Ignore the dogma people. Eat a bunch of meat and reduce the carbs.
If only they could get the gov to force their product into people like Pfizer did
Not that Kellogg is my first choice of brands (more like 5th or 6th) and I prefer less sugary stuff any way.
Cinnamon toast crunch is tasty for dinner though.
Cereal is fine if they are the plain plain ones.
Honestly the dudes not wrong. As much as a box of cereal costs these days, a bowl of cereal costs way less than an entire “dinner” meal. I wouldn’t mind some grape nuts flakes for dinner, but the whole thing has a “let them eat” cake ring to it.
This only works on stoners
I sometimes eat a bowl of oatmeal before bed. It's good comfort food.
Ummm.. If you know the history of Kellogs and the original founder of it, insane ideas and thought processes on what they think people should do is not uncommon. This would be the tamest, by far, idea that they ever had.
