In case you missed it, there is a big trend for people to cancel Kelloggs after they were approached by concerned consumer groups for using poisonous ingredients in their foods. Particularly food dyes and colorings that are banned in manyy countries but they refuse to remove them, despite consumer groups requesting this.
There was some protests outside their headquarters to deliver a petition by Vani Hari, they refused to come out and talk to them and told them through the window to get off their lawn.

This was taken as a big insult and the Cancel Kelloggs movement gained more traction. What is really weird is, similar to Jaguar, this type of publicity isn't good for Kelloggs, so for me it is bizarre that they don't want to make their foods more healthy, especially considering it is eaten by millions of kids around the world.
This is not just a sign of Kellogs filling their foods with cheaper more toxic ingredients. It seems to be a trend for many big food corporations happily switching ingredients and poisoning everyone.
Some noticeable switches have been tallow for cooking fries. The massive increase in soya and vegetable oils in all foods. Plus toxic and addictive sweateners like fructose corn syrup.
When going to the shops, I think, oh I might want that but then check the ingredients label and it has either some corn syrup or canola oil. Both ingredients I don't want to consume. It seems to be a trend for all highly processed foods which make most things unedable if you want to stay healthy.
Even when I am eating a salad or ordering a salad if I am eating out, it has got seed oils in the sauces or the humus, there is no getting away from these now staple ingredients. With RFK Jr now coming to the US as a health Czar, will anything start to change, at least in the US?

It seems there is more worry about using paper straws and less plastic rather than a focus on having high quality food ingredients. With this in mind, I will do my best to join in the cancelKelloggs and generally all big food businesses if I can and buy mostly raw ingredients.
Will it make a difference? Probably not, but you never know. I hope mainly that it will keep me with better health.
To avoid seed oils, a healthy friend of mine recommended Avocado oil which although I try to avoid using any oil as it is nice to not have greasy food, it sometimes is necessary.
So far I have found it pretty good and not affected the taste for me. The alternatives are using olive oil which someone told me was bad as it is not meant for using when heated, so I stopped doing that.
What do you think? Will you cancel Kelloggs? Why are Big Food companies poisoning us?
Thanks for reading.
