Your breakfast cereal has a stranger backstory than you think. π₯£ . . . In 1894, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg developed Corn Flakes at his Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan as a bland, easily digestible health food. Kellogg personally believed spicy and rich foods inflamed passion and railed against masturbation as a cause of illness β but according to Snopes, those views played no direct role in the cereal's actual invention, which was aimed at digestion. Millions of Americans now eat his sanitarium project for breakfast.
