Cartoon: Let them eat flakes

Grace Stiefel, Staff Writer • March 2, 2024
The cost of cereal in the U.S. has increased by about 28% since January 2020, yet Kellogg’s CEO Gary Pilnick suggests that financially struggling families consider cereal at the dinner table. After several similar remarks, Pilnick and the company were met with substantial backlash from the public. Many deemed the statements insensitive and tone-deaf for not considering inflation and the lack of nutrition in cereal. Corn Flakes, one of Kellogg’s most popular cereals, contains 24g of carbohydrates, 47mg of potassium, 1.4mg of calcium, and 100 calories in one cup (28g.) Though cereal makes a decent breakfast, it is not nearly nutritious enough to substitute real dinner foods. (Grace Stiefel)
