hey

 

bad day for guys named Jake

 

Also I wish I could find where I read this but someone pointed out that there are certain things that if you ban them and use the more natural item in replace of it, the more natural item actually has higher potential for worse outcomes than the chemical that you banned.

People think that the more natural things are just always better for you and its not always a 1:1 of that being the case.

 

I just read skimmed 2 articles on Wikipedia about 2 dudes named Kellogg - Will Keith & John Harvey - and I didn't see anything about masterbation anywhere....

I was surprised to learn though that one of them "dedicated the last 30 years of his life to promoting eugenics and racial segregation."

WTF cereal guy?

 

Cereal would create fortunes and create multinational companies that we still know today. But Dr. John Harvey Kellogg , the inventor of corn flakes, did not care about profits. For him, cereal was not just a health food because it would improve Americans digestion. He believed a diet centered on bland foods like cereal would lead Americans away from sin. One very specific sin: masturbation.

Dr. Kellogg’s “biologic living” called for more exercise, more bathing, and eating whole grains and less meat. Like with today’s paleo or organic food trends, he portrayed this as a scientific return to natural principles. “To eat biologically,” he wrote, “is simply to eat scientifically, to eat normally.”

Unlike today’s food trends, he also believed that man’s modern diets led them to carnal sins. "Highly seasoned [meats], stimulating sauces... and dainty tidbits in endless variety,” Kellogg wrote, “irritate [the] nerves and… react upon the sexual organs.” Dr. Kellogg wrote as much about the dangers of sex and masturbation as he did about healthy living. Cereal was the bridge; the dietetic remedy to keep Americans’ diets from leading them to sin.

The Surprising Reason Why Dr. John Harvey Kellogg Invented Corn Flakes

 

someone seriously sanitized this dude's wiki page haha

 

I have a conspiracy theory that if Trump tries to push Musk and/or the Thiel guys out that they will do something where's it is going to be Vance tech VC puppet POTUS Time.

 

Oh.

Well as an avid eater of Strawberry Frosted MiniWheats, I can confirm he is wrong.

Maybe it's all the seasoned meats and spicy wings that cancel it out.

 

Sounds like he was just horny for food and thought this was something that everyone experienced. You don't say the phrase 'stimulating sauces and dainty tidbits in endless variety' if you have a normal relationship to food lol

 

dude must not have been much fun at parties

 

Having to have to do a timeline to combat your DoD Sec's sexual assault allegations is a wild look.

 

In the ’40s and ’50s the Quaker Oats Company (in partnership with Harvard and MIT) provided food secretly containing radioactive minerals to developmentally disabled children. Breakfast food companies are fucked up, man.

 

I don't even like cereal that much but all of this cereal related darkness is fucking up my day

 

Eating my bowl of strawberry frosted miniwheats and shaking my head after each spoonful to show how much i disapprove of Big Breakfast's beliefs and behaviors

 

Jensen Karp found a shrimp tail in his Cinnamon Toast Crunch!

 

Pretty wild how in our country’s history you can go like 100 (or less) years in the past and find a litany of little freaks that were WAY into eugenics and other crazy shit

 

I don't even think you have to go that far back to even find that in the medical community it was accepted that black folks had a higher pain threshold. I still think there is an issue with that going on.

 

Totally. My girlfriend is a nurse and is routinely shocked by how callous people can be towards people of color. Like people still think their skin is tougher and you have to push harder for IVs and shit like that. Super gross

 

shaking my head at you in harsh judgment before hopping in my Volkswagen car

 

Not to mention I think NY did a fairly tame gerrymander that could have more aggressively carved out a few more D seats.
