Kellogg’s cereal twisted history
The development of corn flakes was driven by John Harvey Kellogg's mission to suppress people's sexual appetite, particularly targeting masturbation. He established the Battle Creek Sanitarium where he enforced extreme measures like binding hands, using cock cages, giving enemas, and recommending carbolic acid for women's clitoris. He even suggested circumcision without anesthesia for men. These disturbing practices have been intertwined with the widespread popularity of Kellogg's cereal, depicting a dark side of its creator. These ideas have deeply influenced our culture, highlighting the need to recognize and address such troubling aspects.
