A spokeswoman for Kellogg’s said: “We have updated the Rice Krispies and Coco Pops recipes, which are now made using corn flour and rice flour.

“This recent change helps us 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.

“We appreciate that even small changes to a much-loved product can feel noticeable and that’s why we have approached this with a lot of care and consideration.

How about address climate mitigation with pollution-belching factories and logistics?! 🤯

    An entire whole half of the world eats rice in large quantities. I don't believe this bullshit about "weather conditions". This is just ol' fashioned enshittification, using some excuse to justify it.

    The other part of this that's notable is they're substituting in corn in place of rice. Corn production is heavily subsidised in the states. This is also part of the reason why there's so much high fructose corn syrup in their food and they turn a ton of corn into ethanol.

    You should believe it. Between global warming, overworked soil, deforestation, drought, water waste, water pollution, and lack of fertilizer, we better do something yesteryear. Today is the next best time.

    Accepting that global warming is real is not mutually exclusive with doubting it's the sole or even primary cause for this change.
