For more pseudo-science and a few good laughs, look up John Harvey Kellogg, the brother to the cereal mogul. Better yet, look up the comical farce The Road to Wellville with Sir Anthony Hopkins as the good doctor, which goes over the gentleman's notions of "healthy living."
Wasn't John Harvey Kellogg the cereal guy? The wikipedia article on him talks about him inventing corn flakes and the corn flakes article links back to him.
It was the brother Will Keith Kellogg who was more interested in the business side, vs John the health nut, who made it more popular. John went on to make his version of a "sanitarium."
John Harvey Kellogg and Will Keith Kellogg kinda invented it together. John Harvey was a fucking nutcase and did everything he could to reduce sexual desires (by eating a bland vegetarian diet) and promote health (with enemas ).
They competed on store shelves against each other for a while. John Harvey sold his bland version under the Sanitas brand and Will Keith with his sweetened version under the Kellogg brand, as kind of a fuck you to his brother. He was riding on John Harvey's fame, but also prevented John from using the Kellogg's name on his own product.
The cereal sold today is from Will Keith's Kellogg company.
Just listen to the Behind the Bastards episodes.
Kellogg, Post and Graham were all fucked.
"comical farce"
Nah, it's actually a lot closer to the truth than simply comedy. Kellogg really was that fucked up.
