I'm still can't believe some crazy guy 100 years ago convinced the whole country that eating sugar with milk is somehow a healthy breakfast. And the same guy convinced the same country to do the genital mutilation on male infants.
Kellogg's theory was that bland foods that were full of fiber would stop people from masturbating.
Because he didn't approve of that kind of icky nonsense.
So I think the sugar came later.
I think Graham of Graham crackers was working with a similar concept.
You're combining the two Kellogg brothers. One thought that pleasure was sin, and that a good diet should be as bland as possible to maintain piety. The other thought his brother's cereal tasted like shit and was really hard to market and sell, until he added sugar and salt, then subsequently became filthy rich.
Ironically, pre-sugared cereal may have also reduced the amount of sugar in kids' cereal. For a while, kids were taking regular cereal and dumping sugar on it. Instead of actually parenting and telling them no, the parents started buying sugary cereal.
? I thought both Jackson and Kellogg didn't like sugar? Kellogg even believed excitement caused masturbation, and wanted bland unexciting food was the way to go. That and dick piercings that would make erections painful.
Dont forget the yogurt enemas.
And both were done with the goal of reducing masturbation.
Knowing better has a full day's worth of content on this, if you'd like to know more
Fuck that guy. I'm gonna go buy a box of corn flakes and eat it while I jerk off all day.
I'm always blown away by these tiny cookies. They came after me and bought them for fun once. I couldn't even eat them, they are beyond sweet. Eat some cookies for breakfast fatso
Yeah true but it’s so fucking good sometimes
Genital mutilation?
Don’t fucking judge my breakfast
