Seems like King Author only values “non-white” customers! Good luck with that.

Thanks JimmyO

Ya reckon Dylan Mulvaney found herself (himself) another job? You’d think King Arthur execs could read the news.
DEI seems on the way out with lots of companies. So why pick it up and run with it now?

They can't learn. They must have hired the unemployed bud lite ad. execs.

Have the come out with a special product that isn’t white flour?

As a matter of fact, he has. He's still an 'influencer', whatever that is, and is raking it in from woke businesses.

It seems public scrutiny didnt play well for them, pulled this from one web site, but King Arthur scrubbed it, and even shut down the applications.

Might be an alternative?

I tried that stuff once.. It was, ah, 'meh'.... The general stuff I use for cakes etc., is usually the store-name brand or Gold Medal.. But for breads, I only use flour from either Breadtopia.com or Central Milling.

This flour: https://breadtopia.com/store/organic-tipo-00-strong-white-flour/ I use for pizza dough or certain breads... It's outstanding.. But their high-protein bread flour (https://breadtopia.com/store/organic-bread-flour/ is very good for most general breads.

I got a bag of dark rye from Central Milling and it makes excellent, nearly black, dark rye loaves..

Bob’s Red Mill flour if you can find it.
How long before even the term “white flour”, “white Christmas” and “Black Friday” are deemed politically incorrect?

If Black Friday is a good thing it will be promoted.


I doubt anyone talks about Black Monday on Wall Street anymore.
If they do, they surely don't use that term.

so much better than anything KA.




Add to that Wheat Montana , Dakota Maid , Big J milling, all Of The Central Milling Artisanal Flours ...

Too late. The fact that the King Arthur company would even conceive of such a scheme is enough to warrant a nationwide boycott of their brand.
#insulting!

I wanted to apply, but needed rules clarification. Sent this morning, wonder what their response will be. 🤣

Contest rules

I didnt see in the rules where you could only use flour of color(non-white). Also does this mean that all baked goods have to be non white?
Basically your company doing it this way means you are racist. Perpetuating racism in the name of combatting racism.

No more KA for me.

If you guys want to make the best bread here is a hint. Buy Durum instead of hard wheat and grind it. Best bread ever. I had an aunt who made her famous bread that way.
Normally it’s used to make good pasta but the breads fantastic. Edk

The idiocy of these bleating sheep is breathtaking, they choose to "foster inclusivity"(a meaningless term if there ever was one) by excluding the white race.

I bake my own bread. Usually two loaves at a time. Freeze one, use the other. I have been using King Arthur bread flour for many years. Looks like it's time to explore other alternatives. I did send them an email. No response. Oh well.

Is there a .gov slushfund available for company's that go broke by going woke that isnt common knowledge , or is there a writing on the wall that we cant read yet?
It occurs over and over with a know quantity that CEO's have to have noticed , yet.....

I with these flour companies would label what kind of wheat their flour is made from. Soft white and hard red are not the same thing. Then they have so called 'all purpose' flour which has all the fiber and other good stuff taken out. It's what causes obesity and other grain related problems. After they remove all the good stuff, they add back a few vitamins and call it 'enriched' but it still lacks the fiber. It's garbage and its unhealthy.

Or, how about the 'wheat bread' that's so common in the stores. Bread is almost all wheat bread. They use all purpose flour and add a bit of color to make it look like whole wheat. It's not even close.

I try to source my flour as local as possible. If you make your own bread get to know a local miller and where he gets his grain.

Careful, now with those pronouns....

Are you sure HE is the right pronoun...?

Just asking, no personal info...

King Arthur is Unbleached Hard Red

So is that hard red spring or hard red winter wheat?

Protean and gluten are important in how a flour preforms. If the miler knows what you want in a loaf he can give it to you.

I'm thinking bleck ass wipe would be a hit in knee gar schietters.

Good stuff. I'm stocked on several types of their flour.

F them!

Just pull down his genes and have a look.

Ha!

R.C., I see what you did there.

Funny.

Like Buddhist Monks with Gasoline

The CEO Position is to Steward a Company to Continued Profitability..

That isn’t the case with many Corporations.

It’s as if a Virus has infected the Frontal Lobe of CEO’s and Boards of Companies with some False Business Model not geared to Profits but Social Education of their Customers ..

These are Dangerous Time when you see CEO’s who will not change their Profit Strategies to Salvage their Companies ..

These CEO’s would rather Burn their Companies and their Future

Fanatics

Very Dangerous People Indeed..

Dangerous Times ..
