Dr Kellogg also burned teenagers’ genitals with acid to stop them from masturbating and established a a strong culture of victim blaming survivors of sexual abuse that lasts to this day in American society. Fuck Dr. Kellogg

Too bad they have destroyed the recipe and sell us trash flakes for the past decade....the last year they finally because non edible for me with yet another change.

Agreed fuck that dude.

They were also marketed as an anti-masturbatory medicine, the thoroughly insane and perverted Dr. Kellogg believing that eating protein and sugars led to 'chronic self-pollution', and that the only way to avoid the horrors of whacking it was to subsist on the most bland grain based diet possible. He was renowned for his catchphrase 'Fish and fowl are enemies of the bowel!' which he'd shout at his patients whilst administering them yoghurt enemas, or electric baths, or pummelling them with heavy leather switches.

Guy was utterly cuckoo.

Your description sounds like wheat flakes were invented by accident, but not corn flakes.

Yes. They developed flaking by accident. They tried marketing wheat flakes, it did okay, but not great, but when they developed corn flakes, the process became the dominant method for many cereals. Years later, after the success of Wheaties, Kellogg's circled back to wheat flakes with Pep in 1924, and then "fortified" them with vitamins starting in 1930.

Wheaties, in turn, had been developed also by accident, when a plant worker spilled a wheat mixture on a hot stove. They played with many different formulations, finally got what they wanted, and named it Washburn's Gold Medal Whole Wheat Flakes. The name was changed to Wheaties later, after an in-house contest for the best name.

Well that was will Kellogg's brother, they were two different people, granted they worked together on running their sanitarium and developing the corn flake, but Will Kellogg founded his company without his brother and did not get involved with the same disgusting practices of genital mutilation and eugenics

The Kellogg’s marketing intern who thought it’d be a good idea to share this fact was probably fired after their boss read these comments.

So, are you masturbating more now?
