How Froot Loops Landed at the Center of U.S. Food Politics

They are a half-inch big, rainbow-colored and crunchy—and at the center of a political food fight.

Froot Loops maker WK Kellogg has been under fire for months over its use of artificial food dyes. Now one of the company’s highest-profile critics, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has been tapped to become the country’s top health official, and has vowed to target artificial dyes in cereal that he says contribute to widespread health problems, particularly in children.

“They get brighter colors in Froot Loops, but it’s literally poisoning our kids,” Kennedy said in a Fox News interview in September. Kellogg said the colors it uses in its cereals have been deemed safe by scientific bodies around the world.

The working classes have their revenge

The left is more closely aligned with socialism and communism than it is with capitalism, and leftists are inherently self-contradictory in their ideological philosophy. They demand equality for all yet set themselves up as elitists who stand above the “masses,” arrogantly telling people how they should feel and live.

There’s a certain irony in this contradiction, especially when viewed through the lens of the volatile 1960s, when protests, riots, and assassinations dominated the decade. It was during this time when cultural and social criticism against the alleged conformist middle classes began in full.

School ‘told students that protesting against trans athletes was akin to wearing Nazi swastikas’

A California school told students who wore t-shirts protesting trans athletes that they were akin to wearing Nazi swastika, a lawsuit claims.

Riverside Unified School District is being sued by two female Martin Luther King High cross-country runners and their parents over allegations their freedom of expression was infringed.

The girls, identified as ninth grader Kaitlyn and 11th grader Taylor, say they were rebuked over their shirts which bore the slogans, ‘protect girls’ sports’ and ‘It’s Common Sense XX ≠ XY’.

Bud Light’s Shane Gillis ad shows the progressive revolution is over

There’s something perfectly fitting about Shane Gillis appearing in Bud Light’s latest commercial. Here’s a football player-turned-comedian, cancelled by Saturday Night Live in 2019, now helping America’s most cancelled beer find its way back to cultural relevance. The ad isn’t just damage control for a brand still reeling from its disastrous, boycott-inducing partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney — it’s corporate America’s way of declaring that the progressive revolution is officially over.

Jesse Kline: Canada Post went on strike and no one cared

Is it possible that Canada Post went on strike and almost no one noticed, let alone cared?

I certainly don’t. In fact, my life has significantly improved since postal workers went on strike late last week. On a normal afternoon, my front hall would be littered with junk mail that a letter carrier stuffed into the mail slot, but last Friday, the hallway was empty.

If your union is demanding free sex change operations then maybe it’s best your organization withers and dies.

Police report reveals assault allegations against Hegseth, Trump’s pick for defense secretary

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) — A woman told police that she was sexually assaulted in 2017 by Pete Hegseth after he took her phone, blocked the door to a California hotel room and refused to let her leave, according to a detailed investigative report made public late Wednesday.

Hegseth, a former Fox News personality and President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to be defense secretary, told police at the time that the encounter had been consensual and denied any wrongdoing, the report said.

News of the allegations surfaced last week when local officials released a brief statement confirming that a woman had accused Hegseth of sexual assault in October 2017 after he had spoken at a Republican women’s event in Monterey.

Not if, but when: Foreign Affairs Committee keys in on question of Palestinian statehood

MPs who’ve been looking into Canada’s role in fostering peace in the Middle East will have their work cut out for them as they prepare a final report after a contentious study that saw witnesses shunned and disinvited.

The committee, which is chaired by Liberal MP Ali Ehsassi (Willowdale, Ont.), held four meetings in October and November to look at the ways Canada can advance recognition of a State of Palestine as part of a two-state solution.

Doug Ford and Olivia Chow have the means to end encampments. One thing is stopping them

A chill wind is blowing across Ontario.

As winter looms, homeless people are hunkering down in tent encampments. With the ground hardening under them in public parks, rival political camps are digging in for a fight.

So politicized is this issue that we cannot even agree on how to describe the people or decide on a policy. Activists insist that people in need are not the homeless but the unhoused, or “people experiencing homelessness” — a phoney war preoccupied with terminology over policy.

Biden Desperately Tries to Save His Legacy

President Joe Biden’s allies have repeatedly claimed that his presidency is a historic success in the mold of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Ron Klain, Biden’s former chief of staff, said that Biden has “delivered the largest economic recovery plan since Roosevelt.” Similarly, presidential historian Robert S. McElvaine said that Biden’s record “stacks up well against the very high bars set by FDR and LBJ.”

Is everyone connected to Biden suffering dementia?

Fake News in the 21st Century: The egregious, unethical sin of omission

We have heard a great deal about Fake News over the decades. But we have not discussed the fake news that is the result of the egregious unethical omission of facts.

I am old enough to remember Donald Rumsfeld when he wrote about the known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns. Many laughed. I didn’t. I realized that he could be talking about the failure of MSM – the failure to report ALL the facts:The unknown unknowns. Sadly, once Fake News is shared online, it is there forever. Far too few people fact check. They just blindly believe.
