This is a curated magazine. Post anything and everything. It will either stay up or be lost into the void.
J.H. Kellogg also claimed to be a straight man who wasn't interested in consummating his marriage and felt no need for sex, and that the industrial-strength pressure washer enemas that blasted his prostate with gallons of water every single day were for medicinal purposes.
Didn't he also invent corn flakes to somehow stop people from masturbating?
He just didn’t think pleasure was good in any form - sex, sugar, games, etc.
His brother was more responsible for the corn flakes, John Harvey thought they were too flavorful.
Masturbating with corn flakes is not easy
Not with that attitude...
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Isn’t he also the guy who made circumcision a family tradition in the US?
And carbolic acid burns for baby girls, yup. Anything to reduce sensation and stop masturbation.
The Victorian mentality of “I saw alcohol kill bacteria under the microscope so I’m prescribing vodka to everyone.” Good that everyone is sane in this century and no public figures make deductions like these anymore.
In John Harvey Kellogg's case, it was even worse. Much like the guy who invented graham crackers, it was "So drunkenness leads to cirrhosis, gluttony leads to obesity, pre-condom promiscuity leads to syphilis, sports lead to injuries, and laziness leads to being a soft couch potato. Clearly this means that pleasure is actually bad and you should make sure you don't eat anything that tastes good, don't drink, don't lift weights, never have sex except to produce one or two children, don't play sports, don't listen to music, don't have fun, don't enjoy anything"
I love me some heart dewormer, though
You forgot about anti-vaxxers
First of all, obvious sarcasm.
Second, the reference is Trump's sanitizer idea or this comic.
Water enemas yes, but his favorite was yogurt.
