Kelloggs has become a shitty company. They moved a bunch of their operations out of Battle Creek Michigan (where the company started) to Grand Rapids Michigan (a conservative hub) to screw over the unions.

Hate to break it to you but the company was that bad from the start. Union busting is arguably the least of their crimes.

Iirc they supported Nazis too (the originals...) and the KKK?

The company already had a weird origin. The first guy make the flakes bland on purpose.

Kellogg believed in foods that would not excite the passions. This meant vegetarianism. It also meant combatting what was considered the debilitating scourge of masturbation.

The younger brother then added sugar and mass marketed the stuff without mentioning the weird origin.

If I recall from The Dollop Podcast correctly, corn flakes were first used as a douche.
