The Real Aunt Jemima Died Twice

 

Her name was NANCY GREEN -- a likable, popular, talented woman -- and she passed away on this date in the year 1923 (99 years ago today!)

One might say that she died one more time since 1923 with the power and hyper-sensitivity of the USA's cancel culture. The brand "Aunt Jemima" has been forever discontinued since June 2021. Stupid Liberals won, sheesh.

😕😟😑😐

A great woman erased from history by idiots. The branding of the syrup was a tribute to this woman’s gifts and talents. Now future generations will not even know this beautiful woman existed. What a shame. The world knew her as “Aunt Jemima”, but her given name was Nancy Green and she was a true American success story. She was born a slave in 1834 Montgomery County, KY. and became a wealthy superstar in the advertising world, as its first living trademark. Green was 56-yrs old when she was selected as spokesperson for a new ready-mixed, self-rising pancake flour and made her debut in 1893 at a fair and exposition in Chicago. She demonstrated the pancake mix and served thousands of pancakes, and became an immediate star. She was a good storyteller, her personality was warm and appealing, and her showmanship was exceptional. Her exhibition booth drew so many people that special security personnel was assigned to keep the crowds moving. Nancy Green was signed to a lifetime contract, traveled on promotional tours all over the country, and was extremely well paid. Her financial freedom and stature as a national spokesperson enabled her to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for all Americans. She maintained her job until her death in 1923, at age 89. This was a remarkable woman, and sadly she has been ERASED by politics. I wanted you to know and remind you in this cancel culture time period. (from  Facebook )

Inclusive M&M Candy Characters

M&M Candy Characters Are Becoming ‘Inclusive’ by The Daily Wire

 The green M&M will lose her stiletto boots.

The beloved M&M characters are becoming more “inclusive” with several changes that are subtle but noticeable.

Mars Wrigley, which owns M&Ms, announced on Thursday a “global commitment to creating a world where everyone feels they belong and society is inclusive.”

The green M&M character will lose her peach-colored legs and stiletto boots in favor of white legs and sneakers after criticism that the character was sexualized. Mars said it wanted the green M&M to be “better represented to reflect confidence and empowerment, as a strong female, and known for much more than her boots.”

The brown M&M will have her heels lowered to a “professional height.” In a Q&A on the company’s website for each character, her character says she is “not bossy, just the boss.”

Meanwhile, the green and brown M&Ms will no longer have a rivalry but will now be “together throwing shine and not shade.”

The anxious orange M&M, who Mars says is “one of the most relatable characters with Gen-Z, the most anxious generation,” previously had his shoes untied, but will now have them tied.

The red M&M, an outspoken character sometimes interpreted as bullying the other M&Ms, will start being more kind to his fellow candy characters.

The new versions of the characters will roll out online this week and will start appearing on M&M’s packaging later this year.

The changes are meant to increase a “sense of belonging for 10 million people around the world by 2025,” according to Mars.

“M&M’s has long been committed to creating colorful fun for all, and this purpose serves as a more concrete commitment to what we’ve always believed as a brand: that everyone has the right to enjoy moments of happiness, and fun is the most powerful way to help people feel that they belong,” said Cathryn Sleight, Mars Wrigley’s chief growth officer.

Many classic brands have opted to change their logos in recent years to be more politically correct.

Mars also owns Ben’s Original rice, previously known as Uncle Ben’s. The company changed the brand’s name and removed the image of a smiling, elderly African-American man from its packaging in 2020 after the murder of George Floyd.

Aunt Jemima also altered its logo in 2020 to remove the image of Aunt Jemima, an African-American woman. Quaker Oats said at the time that the company recognizes that “Aunt Jemima’s origins are based on a racial stereotype.”

Land O’Lakes butter changed its packaging in 2020 to eliminate the image of a Native American woman, which had been criticized as a racist stereotype, but that move was controversial within the Native American community, some saying the image fostered empowerment and cultural pride.

Meanwhile, the debate over racially insensitive school and sports team mascots have been ongoing for the last several years. The Cleveland Indians, the Kansas City Chiefs, the “Washington Football Team” formerly known as the Redskins, and the Atlanta Braves have all either changed their logos and mascots or cracked down on fan behavior at games, such as wearing headdresses or face paint.

Liberals & Climate Alarmists (Al Gore, Ocasio-Cortez, etc)

More reasons why I am not a Liberal nor a Democrat, sheesh!










21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?

22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.  (Deuteronomy 18 )

GOYA Foods: My Support

Doing my part to support GOYA Foods

It's not much, but it's a start. I am also tweaking the Paella recipe as I had never cooked it in the past.

I suddenly had the urge to become a fan when a few prominent Liberals and public figures supported a boycott of Goya's products on social media over its CEO Robert Unanue's praise of President Trump.  Nothing attracts me more to the side of the poor underdog than unreasonable Liberal hatred towards it based on nothing more than hurt feelings.

Don't Touch my Kitchen, you Democrats!

Before our kitchen renovation, we had an electric stove.  We replaced it with a gas  stove -- encouraged by our Contractor and certain relatives.  I have yet to regret the decision.  Most of all, I like the fact that we CHOSE what we wanted with no hindrances.  Articles like this make me feel very nervous about having control-freak, know-it-all Democrats running our government offices.  First our stove, next each and every appliance. Give them an inch, and they will take a mile -- Heck, NO!!!


Kitchen Remodels Won’t Include This Feature for Much Longer Domino Magazine

If you care about cooking, you probably have strong feelings about your stove—particularly where the fuel for the heat is coming from. Gas-powered cooktops are definitely the fan favorite among chefs (you have precise control over the flame, thus not burning your food to a crisp), but there’s a growing trend to replace them with their less-popular counterpart: electric. 
According to a new report from Curbed, more and more cities are targeting the use of natural gas in homes in the name of climate change. (The movement is an effort to cut down on the 560 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions released each year.) As it turns out, electric stoves are twice as energy efficient. So not only are they a lot cheaper to install, but they keep utility costs down over time. Studies also link gas stoves to poor indoor air quality and a higher risk of asthma.



Whether you’re in the middle of a renovation or simply in the market for a range, don’t let this news bum you out. While you might think electric cooktops aren’t as responsive, plenty of newer appliances feature impressively wide temperature ranges and can boil water in a matter of a few minutes. Plus, they’re easier to clean and provide extra counter space when you’re not cooking. And if it’s the visual cue of fire that you miss, some options, like Samsung’s Slide-In Induction Range, use LED surface lights to reflect virtual flames on the pot or pan. Your electric stove doesn’t have to be a big black box either. (Italian kitchen appliance manufacturer Fabita debuted an induction surface last year that can be hung up on the wall after use!) These stylish picks make a case for going a little greener:
