John Harvey Kellogg was indeed an advocate of “clean living”
as can be seen by this article...

enjoy this article with your next bowl of corn flakes!

I can think of few things more deserving of a rocket up the bum than health faddists.

I've always thought The Road to Wellville, both the book and the movie, to be underappreciated comedy. There were so many subtle shots at crank health care, in both. One that stands out is Kellogg's forced vegetarian wolf, shivering, drooping, and skin and bones, in a cage. Kellogg claims it's been "tamed".

Oddly enough, it's impossible to find in the used DVD market...

“Wellville” is a hoot. And you get to enjoy the ample assets of Traci Lind, too. ;-)
