FLR 089: The Cereal King – Part 1

INGREDIENTS OF THE DAY:  None

With this episode begins the first biographical podcast series highlighting the life and times of John Harvey Kellogg, the originator of corn flakes, the first all-American cereal that changed the way people ate breakfast.  But John Harvey Kellogg was more than just an inventor of new food products.  He tried to radically change the way Americans viewed their personal health by getting them to look at and change their personal habits.  Although trained as a traditional medical physician, Dr. Kellogg introduced alternative health treatments to his sick patients, so they could heal their bodies in a more natural way.  In Part 1 of this series, the highly charismatic doctor talks about his family history and the challenging life of a pioneer family trying to make a go of it in the Western territory of Michigan in the first half of the 19th century.
