Hasty History #5: Kellogg's Porn Flakes

No, that was not a typo. We really meant to say "Porn" Flakes and not Corn Flakes. Because... In this Hasty History episode, we are talking all things John Harvey Kellogg and the creation of Kellogg's cereal. Did you know that the cereal creator intended for corn flakes to taste bland and boring as a means of preventing...masturbation? You heard that correctly. Kellogg was a weirdo that never consummated his decades-long marriage, believed masturbation to be "the most dangerous of all sexual abuses", and encouraged circumcision and mutilation of male and female genitalia to eliminate sexual arousal. Speaking of elimination, Kellogg was also a eugenicist that believed in racial superiority and eliminating what he considered to be "inferior races". Tune into this week's BONUS episode for the dark and disturbing History behind one of the most well-known and best-selling cereals in the United States. Hasty History BONUS episodes are no-nonsense, crash course, cram session History lessons. No cocktail segment, no ads, no bloopers. Just a quick download of some heavy History content.
