Kellogg's CEO Says Poor Families Should Eat Cereal For Dinner 

Cereal isn't cheap. A box of cereal cost as much as a pack of thighs and legs.

Its the audacity of a billionaire to tell working people to eat cereal to save money 😂

Cereal isn't even nutritionally sound. 🙄 As rich as he is, he didn't consult with a publicist before making such an asinine comment?

NEVER let a billionaire dictate to you how you should spend or live.

Stopped buying cereal for my family years ago, best decision I ever made. Cereal is filled with pure garbage and ridiculous amounts of sugar, artificial colors, and additives.

After 14 years, I think this the first time we’ve talked about breakfast on The Breakfast Club 😅😅😅😅

Those cereal boxes have gotten so much smaller & expensive! I walked by them the other day & was confused on why the boxes were so damn small

Now imagine what they say and how they think about poor people in their homes or meetings

Before anyone eats cereal for dinner, try grits or oatmeal 🤷🏿‍♂️

It’s also his way of saying “buy cereal and make me richer, guys…”

2:15 That interviewer at least tried to give Gary a chance to save himself by asking “would the message land the wrong way?”, and dude just doubled down 😅

2 PAC was speaking like a hood MLK

2pac was so ahead of his time 🐐

Every time I even WANT to buy some cereal just for like a snack or whatever. Then I see the price, it's like $7-8 now? Nah, I'm good.

The price of cereal has gone up as well.

You gotta remember the original OG Kellogg guy invented the cereal because he thought tasty food caused people to whack off and eating only bland things would cure sexual desires. That company literally been CRAZY since day one.

You can tell the difference between someone who has lived in struggle and did not have to struggle. This Ceo is so off-topic that he sounds delusional. The war on poverty started in the early 1960s when Lyndon B. Johnso. was President. There is still a disconnect into what is causing poverty. Lack of jobs, lack of affordable and adequate housing, lack of access to affordable education, lack of access to healthcare, lack of access to food, especially nutrious food that is affordable and available to the masses and lack of acknowledgement that poverty is a nationwide crisis and everyone has the fundamental right for access to food , clothing, and housing. Why is this still a war on poverty with America being the richest country. The war on poverty under Johnson and every other president has been a failure. Along with the war on drugs and a national mental health crisis not being addressed.

The fact that people are eating cereal at all.. that’s basically just a bowl of sugar.

My favorite affordable meal is Ramen Noodles & Costco Rotisserie Chicken... it's incredibly filling, & tasty too!

He does not care if you eat or not; they want you to eat cereal to save their company.

"So now, what do you think we're gonna do? Ask?"

I felt every word unc Charla said. STFU “rich, privileged, disconnected”

Gary should donate a % of sales to help beat hunger instead of selling cereal as a good meal for people. Sad!!

Oatmeal with nuts and fruit is much better.

It's giving "let em eat cake"

Crazy part is we did eat that a couple times for dinner when we were in the projects and it came from a church that gave out free boxes.

Cereal for dinner never me.... I would rather have some noodles.

Eating cereal for more than a snack to hold me over before I go out is depressing 😂😂😂 Why can’t companies eat the cost of inflation instead of passing it on to consumers If they had cereal for dinner more often I’m sure that would help offset and financial impact on shareholders☺️☺️

Our society is so ridiculous because of stories like this. All of these folks who call themselves high class because of their net worths treat the working class like complete garbage. They will have to give an account for their mistreatment one day.

I use to eat cornflakes n water. You got these billionaires tellin people what to do. 💢😡 They ain't never been through poverty or in a tight situation in they life. *Audacity!*

That Tupac insert was top tier

The CEO of Kellogg can put some of those billions of dollars that the poverty stricken community has put in his pockets back into the community and place affordable Whole Foods stores in proverty stricken areas to name a few! Just disgusting!

“Consumer Under Pressure” is a wild way to describe your customers.

Growing up in the 70’s it was dinner in the hood!

We was eating Cereal when it wasn’t even a dinner option when I was growing up. 😂😂

He doesn't know how much Kellogs cereal and milk cost! That's for rich people! Almost $8 dollars a box and kids usually eat 2 bowls and don't drink the freaking milk! A dollar a bowl my arse!!

I ain't even gone lie.... My grandmother still says this to this day if you hungry and she not cooking her words " let me introduce you to the cereal box" and it be off brand cereal!!!😂😂😂😂

Big Mack look right at home with The Breakfast Club.

Everything going up but pay. Cereal bags don't even be filled to the top. They don't need that much air in the bags 😂

When y'all wake up you'll know these ppl on the radio station are not broke

If you eat Kelloggs or give it to your loved ones, you clearly lack self awareness and knowledge.

Charla needs to become an activist. He should be Tamika D Mallory’s right hand man.

I absolutely loooove that interview with Pac. It speaks volumes STILL!

Grilled cheese sandwiches?

Wtf u gone get 10 meals for $1?? I need to hop on that!!😂😂

This is not a POVERTY conversation, this is a HEALTH conversation. Kellogg and the many products they market and the WAY they market is part of the PROBLEM, not the SOLUTION. Big Agriculture and big pharma go hand and hand and spend MILLIONS of dollars to make sure they can get anyone they can on the diabetes to Ozempic/insulin dependency pipeline that has been created in this country. Cereal is extremely high carb and is made with ingredients and amounts of ingredients with a very VERY very high glycemic index and almost completely empty calories that are converted to fat and contribute to insulin resistance. Because their products are almost fully empty calories, your brain will tell you to eat more in an attempt to gain nourishment.You will in turn become obese and very sick and all America does is DRUGS! I’ve been a nurse for 22 years in CA and I’ve seen it every day. Companies like Kellogg, Pepsi and Coca Cola spend MILLIONS of dollars to lobby to make sure that the SNAP program only allows people enough money to buy process foods like cereal, and other very dangerous overly processed, empty calorie foods. By doing this, the children are way too fat, prediabetic before adolescence and then they push Ozempic to them and tell them that it’s not their fault, they have no control over their own eating habits and tell them that making better food choices by will not solve the problem.

Funny how in the middle of this video a ad for Honey Bunches of Oats popped up 😂

Great Value is insane 😭 we had Flakes Frosted 3:18

Just WOW This is unreal 🤦🏾‍♂️

Well said, big bro💜🙏🏾👍🏽🥰

Cereal for dinner ? Nucca what ?!!! No thanx I’ll work some OT 🙄😂

I mean we do😂 but I’m outraged 😡 😂

Facts, growing up we couldn't afford name brand cereal

Food isn’t a necessity but a luxury according to “them” just like housing and everything else

My God!! Make that Ninja Donkey of the day for the entire month of March. 😢

Ramen noodles anyone?

I’m picking the lock comin thru blasting 😂😂😂😂😂

He sound no different than the Queen of France Marie Antoinette saying LET THEM EAT CAKE

THIS is the DOTD that I come here for. MORE of this please.

2:45 bleak times we live in. "trend that we would expect to continue as that consumer is under pressure."

"Consumer under pressure" 🤔 wonder how many meetings it took to come up with that spin 😆 ill have to lowkey start using that while complaining at the store

I will NEVER buy a Kellogg’s product again

Was listening to Joe Rogan & Katt Williams discuss this same issue yesterday regarding Billionaires and their disconnect from just basic human understanding and because they mingle amongst each other (where there is no need or want of anything) they become amnesic to ordinary citizen concerns.

9:40 not jess with the deontay wilder "TO THIS DAY!"

Great value hits better than some big brands. Great value cookies & crème ice cream at Walmart is fyeeeeeeeeee!🤣🤣

I was always a general mills cereal guy anyway.

A lot of us have eaten cereal for dinner.. I don’t understand the outrage

All I know is it 11 something Eastern time and when I finish my Za. I'm gonna eat the last of the cinnamon toast crunch 😂 facts 💯

A large 5lb bag of rice, a few cans or frozen bags of vegetables, and a large pack of chicken can cost you about $15. If you have flour, butter, and chicken seasoning, you can make your own gravy sauce. You can also make that meal into a creamy chicken rice and veggie stew. One of our fav meals. As long as everyone is not over eating, that meal could feed 4 kids dinner for a whole week. It could feed a man dinner for a week (like my husband 6’3 240lbs). One plate of food for him could literally feed 4 kids and they would be full. For me I’m half his size and that could be breakfast, lunch, and dinner for me for a full week with maybe some left over. 😂. My grandmother taught me how to make a whole lot of something out of nothing for a village of people.

THE FACT that he's telling impoverished people to eat something thats BANNED in other countries is crazy !!!

The chair became a lowrider! Lmao😂

I would heat up bread with butter in a pan and then put syrup on it and it tastes like pancakes. Also did mayonnaise sandwiches with sugar water

Been doing that

Many times I had to eat cereal for breakfast and no matter how many bowls I ate it just didn't satisfy the hunger.

Cereal DOES slap though. This is just right message WRONG ASF messenger 😭

AND YOU NINJAS GOING TO LISTEN TO KELLOGGS 😂😂😂

The moment they start talking about food, Big Mac comes out of nowhere 😂

😭😭😭 the door is soundproof!!

When I was broke I used to eat cereal for dinner all the time

I am surprised, The Breakfast Club does not have an interview with Dolton mayor tiffany henyard

Grilled cheese, tuna sandwich, pb&j , can of sweet corn

Surge pricing for lunch and cereal for dinner?!?! We were tripping when we thought we would have flying cars by now.

Mac is a perfect fit, wish we saw more of him

He said all of that to also then tell us they got a whole catering companies and two different types of Mac and cheese 😂😂😂

When I'm low on money I eat beans greens and cornbread I love it

I mean he said add fruits to your wheat flakes.... they make a lot of different brands, i dont think he is referring to sugary garbage cereal.

🎵 all I wanna say is that they don't really care about us 🎵

Lucky Charms was marshmallow mateys in my house as a kid.😂

We needa take notes from the French w how they handled Marie Antoinette’s “let them eat cake” comment and that was JUST A RUMOR. This shit is documented truth

10:28 you have to cut the brown and serve up and put it in your Ramen

Spaghetti and meat sauce…..any noodle and ground beef like box Mac and cheese with ground beef, Ramon noodles, potatoes, rice and beans, pbj, chili

The average box of family size cereal in California is $6.99-$8/box. A gallon of milk is $6-7/gallon. How is THAT AFFORDABLE for a struggling family??? Not to mention, the unmitigated gall to suggest a family eat cereal for dinner is disgusting!!

What was he thinking they should eat fried chicken 🍗 daily lol 😆 hahahaha

Ketchup sandwiches, cheese slice sandwiches, cookies, Vienna sausages, whew I do not miss those days.

This is wild..

Those grate value cereal was 🔥

Jelly sandwich? Just make toast my boy!😂

Can of mackrel poured over white rice.. if you got old bay have at it… sardines, butter bread sandwiches, toast wit syrup.. we can go all day

The other week when I ain’t had nothing in the refrigerator I improvised with some penne pasta a can of tuna some mayo relish and red onion, when I tell you soo good 😌

Unfortunately I do and have...that n noodles while I struggled for years so im not mad but damn dont push it like is nutritious
