Kellogg's Cornflakes

Last night whilst waiting for our favorite television programme "This Week" we decided to watch 'The Road to Wellville'. Graham had ordered the DVD earlier in the week and although the movie was said to have been a flop we thought it could be quite funny. A mix of fact and fiction it told the story of Dr John Henry Kellogg who was Director of the Battle Creek Sanatorium in Michigan, where people went to take the "cures" invented by him. The film was very amusing and we thought worth watching. Along with his brother Will, he was a health freak, in 1880 they were experimenting with cereal foods, trying to get the North American populace to eat these instead of a fat laden breakfast. By 1896 the first successful flaked cereal named Granose was available, Will continued to experiment and 2 years later working with a whole kernal of corn developed the cornflake.
These days any amount of different types of cereal are available to the public, as can be seen when going into your local supermarket.
