We recently published a list of 10 Jim Cramer Stocks to Buy and Sell Now. In this article, we are going to take a look at where General Mills, Inc. (NYSE:GIS) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discussed.
Jim Cramer in a latest program on CNBC talked about President Donald Trump’s attack on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and said he was expecting this to happen “weeks ago.” Cramer said that he “likes” Powell and thinks the central bank chief is now in a difficult situation. Cramer thinks it’d be “illegal” for Trump to fire Powell.
“The Federal Reserve never cuts rates when inflation’s out of control, which it very well could be once the tariffs are all in. I think the Fed chief wants to find out if that’s going to happen. I like Powell, you know that. I think he’s generally done a good job, a good public servant. Unfortunately, right now, he’s stuck between a rock and a hard place. Now, history says he should be doing exactly what he’s doing, but history is now in the eye of the beholder, and there’s only one beholder in this whole country, and it ain’t J. Powell.”
Cramer said that tariffs will result in higher prices, and that will in turn make the central bank’s job difficult because it cannot cut rates when prices are going up.

Jim Cramer recently commented on the latest results of General Mills, Inc. (NYSE:GIS) and expressed concerns over the company seeing a slowdown in the snacking foods category.
“This is just this up ends the whole food group now General Mills. We used to call it Generous Mills, why? Because it delivered and delivered and delivered and gave you great dividend growth. Generous Mills is not as generous as it used to be. The snacking category, which had been the savior of a lot of these food food groups, don’t slow down. David, inventory headwinds, what does that say for everybody from Walmart to Kroger? There is excess inventory in the system from the food segment, which brings me to glp-1s. It brings me to this existential issue: is the next generation snacking, is it eating so-called bad foods less because their body is their Temple? Uh, David, this is going to shock the whole group, and I would be very careful.”
