    Cereal was made by old man kellog to feed to his insane asylum inmates at his battle creek, mi sanitorium, as a low protein food that would lessen the masturbation of the inmates.

    He put mittens on some they could not get off so they did not whack it at night.

      He did not run an insane asylum. It was a health resort. The cereal was for people who suffered from upset stomachs which was highly common because people were inflaming their digestive tracks and giving themselves stomach cancer because tonics were popular at the time and were full of crazy shit. Not just opium and other fun stuff.

      He was so against sexual gratification he did thing mitten thing for children and a teenagers, also physical restraints but never inmates, closest would be orphanages but also promoted the practice to his playing clientele

      Kellog was a crazy religious nut but the kind that wouldn’t even fuck his wife, let alone children like the sickos we’re stuck with today. All in all, I prefer his style of crazy religious nut vs the rapey kind.

        It’s not disputed he ran a sanitorium. I don’t get it when people online just refute established fact. There is not any debate, there is a historical record, and it’s not disputed, and Kellog ran a Sanitorium, was obsessed with masturbation, and was a crazy old bitch. Why try and revise that unilaterally? Am I supposed to prove established fact with sources to prove common knowledge? I get my fill of that in politics, I may have to do it with federal agents executing citizens under false pretense, but I will not waste further time on it for this.

          Yes it was a sanitarium, it it wasn’t not an insane asylum or a prison. It was a health resort.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Creek_Sanitarium

          The Battle Creek Sanitarium was a world-renowned health resort in Battle Creek, Michigan, United States.[3] It started in 1866 on health principles advocated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church and from 1876 to 1943 was managed by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg.[4]

            I am not arguing settled historical fact. If you want to overturn the historical record, take it up with the historians first.
