Most Adventists are familiar with the Adventist roots of Kellogg’s breakfast cereals. They were developed at John Harvey Kellogg’s Battle Creek Sanitarium; commercial production was begun by John’s brother, William K. Kellogg. Today, their huge stable of products includes Rice Krispies, Pop-Tarts, Pringles, Cheez-Its, Froot Loops, Frosted Mini-Wheats, Corn Flakes, Frosted Flakes, and Special K.
In recent years, Kellogg’s has gone very woke, as we’ve reported, partnering with GLAAD to promote “spirit day.” A couple of years ago, the children's breakfast cereal box included a space for children to write their preferred pronouns, such as she/her, he/him, or they or ze. For years, Kellogg’s has been actively supporting sexual confusion and rebellion against the created sexual order.
Yesterday, Blaze Media reported that a huge proportion of Kellogg’s stock is devoted to the Kellogg Foundation which promotes open borders, rioting, and radical leftism.
The W.K. Kellogg Foundation Trust owns 16% of Kellogg’s. That stock is worth $3.2 billion. The trust uses those assets to fund the Kellogg Foundation. For example, in 2022 the trust funded the foundation with $387 million, according to Influence Watch.
The Kellogg Foundation has supported “beyond policing” research that advocates de-funding the police. The foundation’s grants helped launch the Black Lives Matter movement, and it has supported a fund in Philadelphia that bailed out hundreds of rioters in 2020.
The Kellogg Foundation funded a $500 monthly income for illegal immigrants, effectively subsidizing an alien invasion of the country, and has a long track record of supporting open-borders groups. The foundation gave nearly $900,000 to Tides Advocacy, which helped start the Abolish ICE movement.
Finally, like most Leftist organizations, the Kellogg Foundation has given money to Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion mill.
Conservative Christian control $7 trillion in income, which would make us the third-largest country in the world by GDP, behind the United States and China. Yet corporate America not only does not market to us, but uses Christian money to subsidize Leftist radicals.
Kellogg is backing radical policies and movements that the majority of the country opposes, but they believe they are insulated by their enormous wealth. But the power of Christian wallets is also immense, if we chose to use it, which is being seen very clearly with Target. It might be time for Christians to skip the Pop-Tarts.
By the way, the problem of Leftist foundations is not a new one, nor is the Kellogg Foundation unusual in funding Leftist radicals; it is typical. This has been a well known issue for almost a century now, and certainly bears further study.
