In reply to the discussion: Well, screw Kellogg - No more corn flakes for me [View all]wackadoo wabbit
(1,160 posts)71. I don't, and haven't for literally decades
I rarely buy processed foods, and the few I do buy are either Trader Joe's or, occasionally, Kirkland/Costco brand.
When you account for its effects, the SAD (Standard American Diet) probably kills more people each year than all other causes combined. I want no part of it.
I'd love to be able to boycott Kellogg's, but you can't boycott a company that you already do no business with.

I think you have no evidence to attack DU member. Many people buy little/no processed food, like me

The store-brand corn flakes aren't half bad. We like those. I wonder who makes them.

Like hell they are, off-brand Cheez-Its are very noticeably worse, even to a smoker.
