Climate Change Has Become So Bad That Rice Krispies Don’t Have Actual Rice in Them Anymore
Snap, Crackle, and Pop! The sonic slogan of Rice Krispies is now becoming an anachronism.
The classic puffed rice foodstuff now no longer contain actual rice grains, at least in UK and European markets, the manufacturer Kellogg’s recently admitted. It will now use rice flour and corn flour, which aside from gustatory concerns, will result in it being noticeably quieter than it used to be. Kellogg’s, in the face of complaints online, insists that retaining the original sound was a “huge focus.”
It’s yet another example of the corporate cost-cutting putrefaction we’ve come to expect — and the reason for it is grim: climate change.
A spokesperson told media outlets that the reformulation will help “maintain consistent quality at a time when changing weather conditions are affecting the quality and availability of some of the rice and grains used in our cereals.”
Things change. Manufacturers have had to deal with The Weather for pretty much forever.
The company didn’t get into specifics, but the recipe change comes as a powerful “super El Niño” climate phenomenon has devastated agriculture in South and Southeast Asia, where more than half the world’s rice is grown.
El Nino is not caused by Mankind. It is entirely natural and happens. This is all doomsday cult BS. Let’s look at the BBC article in the “recently admitted” link
The cereals have already undergone some change, with reductions in salt content in the 1990s and lowered sugar in 2018. The company said Rice Krispies and Coco Pops will continue to meet UK food standards on levels of fat, salt and sugar in food.
A backlash against processed foods in recent years, especially those low in fibre and high in sugar, has put breakfast cereals generally under the spotlight from healthy eating advocates.
Kellogg’s stressed the cereals contain no artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners and the nutritional benefits in each bowl, such as fibre, Vitamin D and iron are staying the same.
Sounds like taking rice out is more about complying with wacko British and EU regulations, and, the price of rice has skyrocketed over the years with all the Asian, African, and Middle Eastern imports, and, all the rice for the UK and EU is imported.
