General Mills , whose brands include Cheerios, Green Giant and Haagen Dasz, said on Tuesday that the gross margin in its most recent quarter was flat, excluding higher ad costs and other items. On Thursday,
General Mills said it expects pricing and promotions to look the same over the next six months as they have the prior half year. It also sees some players in the sector moderating their promotional activity as commodity costs rise and sees raising list prices in some categories after that. The company's comments were seen as a harbinger of things to come, especially since its 2011 earnings forecast missed Wall Street estimates.
"I think ‘canary in the coal mine' is a good way to think about it," Janney Capital Markets analyst Jonathan Feeney said.

Chief Pulse Comment by Roderick A Palmore
"It was clear to me that lawyers were influential, that there were a lot of things that lawyers were involved in in our society, our economy, et cetera.
Having that sort of flexibility and potential influence was attractive," said Palmore, now general counsel at Golden Valley based General Mills Inc. "It also was clear to me that there was the opportunity to do social good that went with being a lawyer.". Palmore worked in the U. S attorney's office and as a trial lawyer for two Chicago law firms before joining Sara Lee Corp and ultimately
General Mills. Although he had been "working in the diversity vineyard for a long time,"
Palmore decided in 2004 to take a bigger step.
