[h=2]The institutional left’s funding behemoth W.K. Kellogg Foundation has partnered with and given major donations to George Soros’s Open Society Institute and the Tides Center as part of its massive push to promote a far-left agenda.[/h] The W.K. Kellogg Foundation is the nonprofit arm of cereal and sweets giant Kellogg’s, based in Battle Creek, Michigan. The Kellogg Company is chiefly known for its breakfast brands, including Special K™ cereal, Eggo® waffles, and Pop-Tarts®; but its namesake nonprofit W.K. Kellogg Foundation is one of the largest institutional funders in world and is the seventh largest philanthropic foundation in the United States.
The Kellogg’s website explains the history of the Foundation:
In recent years, however, the focus of the Foundation has drifted away from just helping children toward promoting left-wing political issues.

Examples of such funding include a direct grant to George Soros’s Open Society Institute, which received $200,000 from the Foundation to “eliminate racial inequities in the juvenile justice system and promote racial healing through community-based conferences, policy changes, and communication strategies.”
Two other far-left groups, the Tides Center and Tides Foundation, both based in San Francisco, are also top recipients of funds and support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. A search of the grants given by the Foundation for “Tides” yields over 120 results.
Most recently, on November 1, 2016, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation gave $2,150,000 to the Tides Center in order to:
Another W.K. Kellogg Foundation grant in 2016 gave over $380,000 to Tides in order to:
The benevolent-sounding program descriptions go along with the way George Soros, one of the world’s wealthiest men, portrays his “open societies” vision. An article on Fox News described the model for Soros’s charitable contributions as “pro-one world government, pro-abortion, pro-government controlled media, pro-drug and even pro-euthanasia and against the very institutions that stand for traditional values such as family and faith.”
The connection between the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and Tides appears to go beyond mere funding. In a section of the Tides website called “Expanding Your Reach,” Tides explains to community organizers and would-be grant recipients how they can be part of a “partnership” with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and other top institutional left funders to get more of the billions of dollars available for issues ranging from elections to immigration reform and foreign policy. The website says:
Tides was founded in 1976. One important institutional left figure who is part of Tides is Wade Rathke, whose official biography on his own blog lists him as “Founder of ACORN, Chief Organizer at ACORN International, Author of Citizen Wealth, Global Grassroots and The Battle for the 9th Ward,” in addition to pointing out:
It’s unclear how many consumers are aware of Kellogg’s institutional leftist funding through its namesake nonprofit, but it’s safe to say not all agree with the company’s ultra-liberal political views. In 2014, the Kellogg Company was criticized by some for an ad featuring its Frosted Flakes Tony the Tiger character saying, “Wear your stripes with pride,” to promote the company’s sponsorship of a gay pride march in Atlanta, Georgia.
As Breitbart News has also reported, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation has put over $75,000,000 into an initiative to “combat structural racism in America.” An article on the Foundation’s website explains:

[h=2]Lawrence Meyers of InvestorPlace’s InvestorPolitics forum writes that the Kellogg Company “is being incredibly, mind-numbingly stupid” by openly attacking Breitbart News after buying into “the media’s false narrative that conservatives and Breitbart’s website consist of deplorables, haters, racists, sexists, White Nationalists, who also kick puppies and club baby seals.” Kellogg’s actions, Meyers writes, “immediately alienates up to half of its domestic consumers.” He warns, “You do not pick a fight with Breitbart.” [/h] Meyers cites the recent Target transgender bathroom boycott as an example of why corporations should avoid speaking on political issues because “40% to 50% of the country will disagree with the issue or opinion under discussion.”

[h=1]DumpKelloggs: Breakfast Brand Blacklists Breitbart, Declares Hate for 45,000,000 Readers[/h] 35592

[h=2]Kellogg Co. announced on Tuesday its decision to pull ads from conservative media giant Breitbart.com because its 45,000,000 monthly conservative readers are not “aligned with our values as a company.” In response, Breitbart News, one of the world’s top news publishers, has launched a #DumpKelloggs petition and called for a boycott of the ubiquitous food manufacturer.[/h]
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. 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.
“We regularly work with our media-buying partners to ensure our ads do not appear on sites that aren’t aligned with our values as a company,” said Kellogg’s flak Kris Charles. “We recently reviewed the list of sites where our ads can be placed and decided to discontinue advertising on Breitbart.com. We are working to remove ads from that site.”
Kellogg’s offered no examples of how Breitbart’s 45 million monthly readers fail to align with the breakfast maker’s values. Indeed, the move appears to be one more example of an out-of-touch corporation embracing false left-wing narratives used to cynically smear the hard working Americans that populate this nation’s heartland.
Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alexander Marlow encouraged the boycott of Kellogg’s products, describing their war against Breitbart News as bigoted and anti-American: “Breitbart News is the largest platform for pro-family content anywhere on the Internet. We are fearless advocates for traditional American values, perhaps most important among them is freedom of speech, or our motto ‘more voices, not less.’ For Kellogg’s, an American brand, to blacklist Breitbart News in order to placate left-wing totalitarians is a disgraceful act of cowardice. They insult our incredibly diverse staff and spit in the face of our 45,000,000 highly engaged, highly perceptive, highly loyal readers, many of whom are Kellogg’s customers. Boycotting Breitbart News for presenting mainstream American ideas is an act of discrimination and intense prejudice. If you serve Kellogg’s products to your family, you are serving up bigotry at your breakfast table.”
In response, Breitbart launched its #DumpKelloggs petition to encourage its vast readership and the followers of its #1 in the world political Facebook and Twitter pages to ban bigotry from the breakfast table by boycotting Kellogg’s products.
“Kellogg’s has shown its contempt for Breitbart’s 45 million readers and for the main street American values that they hold dear,” said Breitbart President and CEO, Larry Solov. “Pulling its advertising from Breitbart News is a decidedly cynical and un-American act. The only sensible response is to join together and boycott Kellogg’s products in protest.”

Expensive? Doesn't a box of fruit loops cost something like $0.20 a serving? The real expense will be the medical bills that come along with a decade of eating sugar and corn starch for breakfast.

I don't know how anyone can eat that shit. Might as well just pour a box of sugar cubes into a bowl of milk, and then pour some more sugar on top...

Don't forget about the food coloring. Some of that crap is lethal to your body

Life cereal with frozen fruit tastes much better than corn flakes or raisin bran.

[h=1]Kellogg Foundation Made Huge Grants to John Podesta’s Center for American Progress[/h]

[h=2]The W.K. Kellogg Foundation gave nearly two million dollars to the John Podesta-founded Center for American Progress and a closely affiliated organization called Washington Center for Equitable Growth that also lists John Podesta as a founder.[/h]The W.K. Kellogg Foundation is the namesake nonprofit arm of the Kellogg Company, which weeks ago pulled advertising from Breitbart News, declaring in an official statement that Breitbart is not “aligned with our values as a company.”
The Foundation describes itself as being “founded in 1930 as an independent, private foundation by breakfast cereal pioneer Will Keith Kellogg” and “among the largest philanthropic foundations in the United States.”
Although the Foundation states that its mission is to “create conditions for vulnerable children so they can realize their full potential in school, work and life,” the donations to John Podesta’s Center for American Progress—which Politico described as “the leading progressive think tank in Washington”—is part of W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s pattern of giving to partisan, far left-wing political organizations such as Black Lives Matter, George Soros’ Open Societies Institute, and the Tides Foundation.
The Center for American Progress (aka CAP) was started in 2003 by its then-President and Chief Executive Officer John Podesta, the former Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton who led Barack Obama’s presidential transition team after the 2008 election and went on to be the campaign manager of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. Podesta’s relationship with Bill Clinton goes back to 1970.
According to their website, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation gave at least three grants directly to the Center for American Progress. The Foundation contributed one grant for half a million dollars scheduled to fund from May 1, 2015 – April 30, 2017 to develop “work-family policy solutions.” Another grant to CAP for $500,000 for the same period of May 1, 2015 – April 30, 2017 was given to:

Contribute economic data and research that will allow policymakers to make evidence-based policy decisions that simultaneously stimulate economic growth for the country and improve economic security for families
​

A third grant to CAP for the period of May 1, 2014 – Dec. 31, 2015 for $300,000 was for the stated purpose of:

Improve achievement in elementary school by increasing the development of aligned preschool-third grade programs with sustained funding
​

Aside from these three direct grants to Center for American Progress, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation also gave a grant to another CAP-connected group called the Washington Center for Equitable Growth for the period of May 1, 2016 – Oct. 31, 2017 for $395,625. The stated purpose was openly to impact public policy and said the money would be used to:

Facilitate evidence-based policy decisions that simultaneously stimulate economic growth for the country and improve economic security for families by contributing economic data and research to the family financial stability discourse
​

When Wikileaks began publishing the hacked emails of John Podesta during the run-up to the 2016 presidential election, it revealed an interesting relationship between the Center for American Progress and the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, in what appears a clear attempt to hide the relationship from the two groups as much as possible, even though both were founded and directly connected to John Podesta and one another.
One memo revealed an email to Steve Daetz—whose LinkedIn profile lists him currently as “Executive VP at Sandler Foundation—from Heather Boushey, the Executive Director of Washington Center for Equitable Growth.
The August 1, 2014 email subject line reads “A marriage of equals: Equitable Growth’s hopes and dreams for our relationship with the Center for American Progress”and outlines how Boushey wants to have support from CAP with “no fingerprints.” The memo also shows Boushey suggesting, “Please burn this email after you read it!”

While we believe there is much to be gained from our affiliation with CAP, we also believe that for us to be successful—and to do the most to support the work of CAP and other progressive organizations—requires that CAP’s support “leaves no fingerprints.” (Please burn this email after you read it!)
​

Boushey goes on in the same email to make specific suggestions about how to leave “no fingerprints”:

…to maintain our “fierce independence,” we need:
• Phone lines that show up as “Equitable Growth,” not “Center for American Progress.”
• Job openings posted on our site, not CAP’s
• Our staff listed on our own website, not CAP’s
• The ability to sign contracts with academics and researchers saying only “Equitable Growth,” not “Center for American Progress.”
​

Another memo attached to an email written by Boushey and released by Wikileaks makes it clear that Podesta is directly involved with the group at a senior level by requesting a private office for him:

8 private offices with natural light, one of which needs to be suitable for Podesta and a second must be large enough for Heather to have a small table to meet with staff and guests.
​

The same memo also mentions the planned request for funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation:

Kellogg Foundation. We will ask for 500,000 for 2015 to conduct joint grantmaking to academics, and to support our communications work to elevate how equitable growth can inform policymaking.
​

The memo also says it planned to seek funding from such major institutional left funders as the Ford Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and the Wyss Foundation.
Another one of Wikileaks’ published emails shows the Washington Center for Equitable Growth’s excitement about getting a $500,000 grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Under the subject “W.K. Kellogg Foundation Grant P3032271 Notification of Approval,” Heather Boushey writes to John Podesta:

More good news this week!
1. Kellogg giving us a 2-year, $500k grant – some of which will support our grant making.
2. Herb called me to say Larry Kramer will give us “$1 million/year for three years” but I don’t have paper on that yet.
Best,
Heather
​

Another note forwarded in the same email chain from Bridget Ansel—Equitable Growth’s Assistant Editor for Publications and Development—is effusive:

As some of you already know…we got kellogg!! woo-hoo!!!
​

Following the Kellogg Company’s decision to pull advertising from Breitbart News because Breitbart with its 45 million monthly readers doesn’t “aligned” with Kellogg’s “values as a company,” Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alexander Marlow issued a statement urging a continuing boycott of Kellogg’s products, saying, “For an American brand like Kellogg’s to blacklist Breitbart News in order to placate left-wing totalitarians is a disgraceful act of cowardice.”
