    92: John Harvey Kellogg

    · Ill-Equipped History

    This week's episode is about a health-obsessed doctor who also happened to invent one of the most famous breakfast foods of all time! Dr. John Kellogg had good ideas about health, questionable ideas about food, and unforgivable opinions about eugenics. Like many people covered on Ill-Equipped History, he's complicated!
