| SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Kellogg Co. has recently donated thousands of boxes of cereal with Michael Phelps' picture on them to the San Francisco Food Bank. Kellogg cereal boxes showcasing Michael Phelps were donated to the San Francisco Food Bank. (Lacy Atkins/San Francisco Chronicle / Associated Press) Kellogg last month declined to renew its endorsement deal with the Olympic swimming star after a photo surfaced showing him smoking from a marijuana pipe. Food bank executive director Paul Ash says he doesn't know specifically why the cereal was donated. Kellogg officials responded to questions Wednesday with an e-mail saying the company routinely donates food that is nearing the end of its shelf life but still good. Either way, Ash is glad to have the items, which he says can be hard to come by. Kellogg's decision not to renew Phelps' deal was not without controversy when it was announced in February. Legions of marijuana advocates urged a boycott of Kellogg, including all of its popular munchies, for deciding to cut ties with Phelps. The leader of one of the biggest legalize-pot organizations, the Marijuana Policy Project, called Kellogg's action "hypocritical and disgusting," and said he'd never seen his membership so angry, with more than 2,300 of them signing an online petition.
