It's not about practicing slippery affairs, having sex, or satisfying oneself - Kellog's said. It was even rumored that he, even married, completely renounced sex - to catch any disease, it is said.
In the 19th century Kellog's created a list of certain foods that were supposed to suppress people's sex drive. Forbidden were spicy and aromatic foods and meat. Allowed: tasteless foods such as nuts and cereals. And Kellog's corn flakes. The popular breakfast cereals were invented.
At least as tasty and much healthier: home-made crunchy muesli.
