Next time you have some Kellog’s cereal don’t worry if your libido goes away….that’s what Mr. Kellog was going for:

As an advocate of sexual abstinence, Kellogg devoted large amounts of his educational and medical work to discouraging sexual activity, on the basis of dangers both real – as in sexually transmissible diseases – and purported.[clarification needed] He set out his views on such matters in one of his larger books, published in various editions around the turn of the century under the title Plain Facts about Sexual Life and later Plain Facts for Old and Young.[5] Some of his work on diet was influenced by his belief that a plain and healthy diet, with only two meals a day, among other things, would reduce sexual feelings.

Now how about this as an image you’d want associated with your company? In an effort to rehabilitate masturbating children Kellogg wrote a book entitled Plain Facts for Old and Young, in it he wrote “A remedy which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision ,..

    One of my favorite flicks “The Road to Wellville” is an irreverent account of the life and times of Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, as played by Anthony Hopkins. It also stars Dana Carvey, Bridget Fonda, and Matthw Broderick. The casting alone is worth watching.
