WK Kellogg said yesterday that it will remove artificial colors from all its cereals by the end of this year.

The change comes a year ahead of schedule. Kellogg said last August that it would remove synthetic dyes from its cereals by the end of 2027.

But they said they have identified fruit- and vegetable-based juices that will give cereals like Froot Loops and Apple Jacks their distinctive colors.

The company said it is also removing BHT, an artificial preservative, from the small number of cereals that still contain it.

“More and more consumers are looking for foods made with simple, recognizable ingredients and we are proud to meet those expectations even sooner than planned,” Kellogg’s Chief Growth Officer Doug VanDeVelde said in a statement.

So… Well….. GOOD !!!! But, why did it take so fckin long?? In this day and age any “unnecessary” additives to our foods should go away…

THAILAND: A 14-year-old male student allegedly shot and killed his two grandparents at their home before going to school.

At the school, he killed five staff members, including teachers and administrators. Initial reports varied on whether any students were among the fatalities, but Thai officials have identified the school victims primarily as staff.

Police and Thailand's prime minister said the teenager had reportedly been experiencing significant academic and school-related stress. Investigators are examining his mental health, personal history, and any writings or electronic evidence

MINNESOTA: If you are traveling in the midwest today, grab a book and be ready to wait.

A telecommunications/equipment outage occurred at the FAA's Minneapolis Air Route Traffic Control Center, which manages high-altitude airspace over Minnesota and parts of nine surrounding states.

The FAA responded by issuing ground stops and flight delays for aircraft headed into or departing affected airports while controllers switched to backup procedures.

This is effecting major airports in Nebraska, Iowa, The Dakotas, and loads of smaller airports..

TRY, TRY AGAIN: President Trump issued new executive orders aimed at restricting birthright citizenship and cracking down on “birth tourism”

I TOTALLY agree we should end the practice of “Anchor babies” (Where women come to America when they are 8 months pregnant so that their baby can be American) .. But, CONGRESS has to do that.. THEY make the laws .. The President signs them and enforces them (Well, sometimes)… The Supreme Court told you this a few weeks ago ..

YOU’RE IN CONTEMPT!!! The Senate Committee did, indeed, vote to find Dr Fauci in contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions. Fauci invoked the 5th Amendment over 100 times despite having received a blanket pardon (Which means his answers could not incriminate him… He has a pardon) …

Now, it’s clear the Committee wanted to set a perjury trap… and.. even if he is found in contempt the sentences are real short… He has a bigger issue..

Federal Pardons do not cover STATE charges ..

Florida, Louisiana, and West Virginia, have issued subpoenas focused on whether Fauci engaged in self-dealing or personally profited from his COVID-19 guidance, awards, book deals, grants, and related opportunities.

THIS is a problem .. Because he DID profit personally .. He got payments from pharmaceutical companies (Which is NOT unlawful, usually) and other “prizes” and a Book deal .. If Fauci gets the wrong jury or judge, he’s in deep doo doo…

Is Senator Mitch McConnell alive? Mitch reportedly has been discharged from a rehabilitation facility after a fall at his Kentucky home in mid-June that left him hospitalized. He released a statement..

“Earlier today, I was discharged from the rehabilitation center to continue my recovery at home. Elaine and I are grateful for the many well wishes and support from friends, colleagues, and Kentuckians, and for the attentive care I’ve received from excellent doctors, nurses, therapists, and hospital staff,”

McConnell said he will remain at home during the Senate’s upcoming state work period as he continues his recovery.

Umm… Really? Gonna “stay at home” .. Can you maybe give a LIVE update? Like.. on a camera?? …

In the “You GOTTA be kidding” column …

“Going out to dinner” is more than just food. .. More than just eating.. it’s an experience .. Time with friends and family .. Going to a new place other than your kitchen.. Having a good time … and.. It’s totally fair that it “costs more” .. You can’t expect to pay the same for a beer or a glass of wine in the restaurant as you do at home…

BUT.. I am drawing the line at hot dogs ..

The WSJ ran an article about the “rise of the $100 hot dog” … Hot dogs with caviar… “Hot dog towers” ..or…. a nearly two-foot-long dog in a 19-inch bun sold for $45 at Coors Field in Denver. Dubbed “the Glizzilla,” its name nods to “glizzy,” (which is tik tok lingo for hot dog)

Sorry… NO.. NO FCKIN WAY…

I am drawing the line at $50 or $100 hot dogs .. I don’t care if they have DIAMONDS in the bun… They are NOT a “THING” in my world… NO WAY !!!!

CANCER BREAKTHROUGH??? There is a medication approved for different reasons that may reduce cancer deaths. The medication appears to effect the inside of cancer cells: it seems to disrupt their cholesterol supply, potentially leaving them poorly equipped to spread through the body.

That drug is sildenafil .. commonly known as VIAGRA ..

Health records from more than 40,000 male cancer patients linked combined sildenafil and statin use to a 31% lower risk of death within five years, compared to using neither drug…

Ya Know.. I use a statin …. Maybe I should get ahead of any potential cancers???

GOLF: PGA TOUR: Wyndham Championship: Beau Hossler led the morning wave with a blistering 61 .. He needs a good finish. He started at 122 in the standings.. and Sahith Theegala is right behind at 62. Theegala almost pulled off the rare “No Pars/All Pars” scorecard .. 8 birdies and a bogey on the front .. All pars on the back until he birdied 18..

GET BETTER MINNIE!!! Actress Minnie Driver was in bad car wreck. She was driving on an old country road and a driver blew through a stop sign and BAMMM!!!

But, she’s fine… So.. It’s NOT too soon !!!)
