... cornflakes ...

i learned something really interesting in my human sexuality class that i wanted to share:

In the 1800s sexual abstinence, simple foods, and fitness were lauded as crucial to health. John Harvey Kellogg, a doctor, developed the cornflake to help prevent masturbation and sexual desire. He believed that bland food dampened sexual interest and that spicy foods excited sexual desires. I guess back then ejaculation reduced precious "vital fluids" in people. No wonder everyone was so uptight.

So anyways, just think about that next time you're eating cornflakes for breakfast
