*Why can't I just sit down and enjoy a bowl of Wheaties? Or pay $5 for a
cup of Starbucks foo-foo coffee (which I never would). Or shop at Sears or
BestBuy, without being concerned about where these companies are spending
the profits they made from me ?*
*Why has it become that manufacturers have to endorse ANYBODY or ANYTHING?*
*And why do they always seem to back the minorities such as the 2% of the
population that are gay. Or the vile muzzies that are worming their way
into our society?*
*Why are they selling out the All-American, hard working, traditional
family citizens, to endorse groups that are destroying our Nation and
bringing moral downfall ? Enquiring Minds want to know.*
*And I can't wait to see it all jump up and bite 'em in their arses !*

General Mills Cereal Endorses Homosexuality and Opposes Traditional Marriage
posted on June 18, 2012 by da Tagliare Godfather Politics
Do you or anyone in your family eat Cheerios, Wheaties, Trix, Chex, Fiber
One, Kix, Lucky Charms or any other General Mills cereal? Do you enjoy a
nice bowl of HӓagenDas ice cream with a Nature Valley granola bar, perhaps
after a crispy Totino’s Pizza? On a cold winter’s day, you like to sit up
to a nice hot bowl of Progresso Soup? If you are one of the many who enjoy
your veggies, are you a fan of Green Giant vegetables? Do you use Betty
Crocker, Hamburger Helper or Old El Paso? If you answered yes to one or
more of the above questions, you may want to think twice before you make
your next purchase.
On the ballot in November, Minnesota residents will be voting on a
constitutional amendment which defines marriage as a union between one man
and one woman. The amendment is designed to protect traditional marriage.
In response to the amendment drive, General Mills CEO Ken Powell recently
spoke at a gay pride event where he told the crowd that the cereal giant
opposes the amendment and efforts to protect traditional marriage. The
General Mills corporate headquarters is located in Minneapolis.
Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for
Marriage<http://www.nationformarriage.org/site/apps/nlnet/content2.aspx?c=omL2KeN0LzH&b=5134145&ct=11814563¬oc=1>commented
on the amendment, saying,
“Marriage as the union of one man and one woman is profoundly in the common
good, and it is especially important for children. General Mills makes
billions marketing cereal to parents of young children. It has now
effectively declared a war on marriage with its own customers when it tells
the country that it is opposed to preserving traditional marriage, which is
what the Minnesota Marriage Protection Amendment does.”
“This will go down as one of the dumbest corporate PR stunts of all time,”
said Brian Brown. “It’s ludicrous for a big corporation to intentionally
inject themselves into a divisive social issue like gay marriage. It’s
particularly dumb for a corporation that makes billions selling cereal to
the very people they just opposed.”
Spokesperson for NOM, Jonathan
Baker<http://www.onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?id=1615808>added,
“You know, they had a chance to respect their customers, they had a chance
to respect their employees, and frankly, as a publicly traded company, they
had a chance to respect the diversity of their shareholders. And I just
can’t stress how disappointed we are that they have decided to cave in to
those special-interest groups.”
According to information provided on the NOM
website<http://www.nationformarriage.org/site/apps/nlnet/content2.aspx?c=omL2KeN0LzH&b=5134145&ct=11814563¬oc=1>,
a poll conducted by the Alliance Defense Fund indicated that 63% of
households with kids said that marriage should be defined as a union
between one man and one woman only and not between a man and another man or
a woman and another woman. They also point out that General Mills makes
billions of dollars by providing products to traditional families. In fact,
they point to the US Census Bureau’s figures that indicate there are over
35 million traditional families in the United States compared to only
111,000 same-sex families.
I would love to see the 35 million traditional families make their voices
heard at the grocery checkouts by boycotting all General Mills product
until the company sees the error of their ways. If enough families stop
buying GM products, they’ll be forced to listen to their customers and
change their stance on the marriage amendment. If they don’t change, then
may their company slide to ruin with all of the others that endorse the
sinful and anti-biblical lifestyle of homosexuality.
