Because one person controversy is another's normal. And a company should wish to sell their products to every one. Controversial are not.

Should I start compiling a master list of all the companies for y'all to boycott? It seems y'all have a new company daily to add to it.
I know new Balance and Yuengling are ok. Anyone else?

Not a Trumpite here but I'll say the same thing I said with Chik Fil A.
Just sell food and stay away from politics. Why offend even a small portion of your consumers?

Do people really care when a company doesn't want to be associated with a controversial entity?
Why?
Because one person controversy is another's normal. And a company should wish to sell their products to every one. Controversial are not. A company should not be conservative or liberal; they should only be profitable.
They could have quietly discontinued the ads but they chose the shitshow option. So shitshow it is.

If memory serves, CFA didn't come out and advertise that themselves. Some SJW asked the question of the owner, knowing they were VERY religious and closed the restaurants on Sundays.
Then, the SJW was "shocked" when the owner responded that they didn't support gay marriage, but had nothing against gay people.
THEN it became an issue. In the eyes of the SJWs, if you aren't complicit in every part of their ideas, you are a bigot. In this case, you simply can't "disagree" with gay marriage but still have nothing against gays. Makes perfect sense, right?
That was the problem most had with the CFA "issue". Including me, who is pro gay anything.

This is the best post in this thread, by far.
So true. My family did that months ago and we all look and feel better for it.

I wonder if this boycott will be as successful as the Target one
Posted on 12/1/16 at 10:16 am to Old Sarge
I don't understand the end game. Who is advising these people? They could have easily just changed up their advertising and never said a word and accomplished the same thing. But instead, they have picked a fight with an extremely popular media outlet.
The old saying is "never pick a fight with someone that buys ink by the barrel."
Well, Breitbart has now dedicated investigative reporters to destroying Kelloggs. This is not just about a boycott. Kelloggs better hope they have no skeletons.
Again, what is motivating these companies to pick politics over profits?

Unless the CEO was involved in this decision, I bet he/she is not happy about this.

Priceonomics : How Breakfast Became a Thing By Alex Mayyasi
quote:
You’ve probably heard that “breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” What you may not know is the origin of this ode to breakfast: a 1944 marketing campaign launched by Grape Nuts manufacturer General Foods to sell more cereal.
quote:
The modern era of breakfast begins with cereal. Before its invention, breakfast was not as standard or routine. "The Romans believed it was healthier to eat only one meal a day," food historian Caroline Yeldham has said . Many Native Americans, Abigail Carroll writes in The Invention of the American Meal , ate bits of food throughout the day (rather than at set meals) and sometimes fasted for days at a time. Of medieval Europe, historians alternatingly write that breakfast was only a luxury for the rich, only a necessity for laborers, or mostly skipped. And while many American colonists ate breakfast, they were reputedly harried affairs that took place after hours of morning work.
quote:
The Invention of Cereal Before cereal represented our over-sugared, overprocessed relationship with food, Americans viewed cereal as a health food. Its origins lie in health sanitariums run in the mid to late 1800s by some familiar names—like Dr. John Harvey Kellogg. It was a reform period when doctors were still often called quacks: Germ theory was just gaining prominence, and Dr. Kellogg’s favorite medical tool was a bath. His malady cures resembled spa treatments; “hydrotherapy” was popular at the time. Kellogg and his peers believed they could improve Americans’ health by changing their diets. They believed that too much meat and too many spices had negative effects, and they preferred whole grains to white breads. A dietary reformer named Sylvester Graham invented the graham cracker in 1827. James Caleb Jackson, who did not allow red meat at his sanitarium, invented a cereal that he named “granula” in 1863. And James Kellogg developed granola or corn flakes in the 1890s.

All these companies jumping into politics is hilarious IMO
It's not hilarious to them.
They are just protecting their brand. They could give a shite about politics - it's about public image.
And they read and hear the news and what viewpoint is reported - they play it safe and jump on the progressive agenda no matter how crazy because they think nobody will protest them.
If the media is portraying alt-right as racists, companies are going to panic to be associated with that.
They'd prefer to just be Switzerland but it's the hyperbole media that is creating this division and choose sides.

What is a good General Mills or Post or Quaker Oats equivalent?
And that's the thing. I'm a Raisin Bran guy, so that's Kellogg's. But I also like Honey Nut Cheerios, so I've got a go to. But I'm not going to buy from a conservative company because they're conservative. I'll buy from them if they have a better product.
