Has anyone else seen the movie Road to Wellville with Mathew Broderick?

Yeah I'm posting a plug for a favorite show. It's by family medicine doctor Sydnee McElroy and her comedian/podcaster husband Justin.
DontEatThatTaco
Yes, not... Quite.

Is Jonny Vegas wearing a pizza in that episode?
jetflight
Sort of. It's lava pizza.
ERJockey
Paisley print, but reminiscent of pizza. Also, super ugly.
HandoB4Javert
Often it's hard to tell.
snowmMoonBaron
My man fucking rocks what he wants so let's calm our weak ass jokes and leave our tired references aside
Keru
There's no way a pizza would survive for long enough around Johnny.

Is that actually true???

According to WIkipedia, they were originally developed by seven-day adventists so that vegetarians could eat it, since the church favored it
ApotheosisCM
Close enough. One Kellog brother wanted cereal that tasted good, the other wanted bland cereal so that boys wouldn't masturbate.
vDorothyv
I like cornflakes and masturbating
IMoveWithTheEleganceOfAnAfricanElephant
Not the mattress stuffing, but yeah, corn flakes were thought to be an anti-aphrodisiac.
SherMattLockSmith
Dr Kellogg formulated them as a bland food in the belief that bland foods would prevent masturbation in young boys.
GadenKerensky
Ah, back in the days when people didn't understand Masturbation.
StonerCatJay
Or food for that matter
GadenKerensky
That too.
peridotite
The thought process was that eating bland food like corn flakes would prevent boys from masturbating.
YouHaveJustBegunReadingTheUsernameYouHaveJustFinishedReading
No, they put it in mattress so you could here if you we're doing the old solo bedtime cha cha
justsome
Wait... it doesn't?
hippy80
In that case, how do the Irish keep on existing?
AnActualGoddamnScientist
That foolish attitude is why we now have frosted flakes.
Snooj
I thought that was graham crackers? Actually, I know it is, but I didn't know it was also true of corn flakes.
preaction
Oh yes. John Harvey Kellogg was a crazy person
GodLikeButHumble
Pretty much all "healthy" foods from that time were intended to make you shit more and/or masturbate less. Fact.
freiman
Yep if it tastes like cardboard it will decrease your sex drive
Evergrey
Kellogg also encouraged using acid to destroy the clitoris of young girls, and circumcising young boys, to prevent masturbation.
Evergrey
Which is why most American males ended up getting circumcised, and still do. It's rare in Europe, except for religious reasons.
attackofthequokka
"The diet he imposed consisted entirely of bland foods. Kellogg believed that spicy or sweet foods would increase passions." ok then
smugmeerkat
Little did he realize that fetishes come in all shapes and sizes. ;)

And flavours!
MisterRichard
You are correct, but QI is kind of like horseshoes- he got some points for having masturbation discouragement as part of his answer.
GadenKerensky
I have no fucking idea how the points in QI work. It seems very arbitrary.
PrincessRachell
You get points for being correct or quite interesting and lose points for being wrong and obvious

The elves assign negative points to the most predictable answers before the show.
aleister94
Same reason they started doing non religious circumcision in America
rocketturttle
hahahahah no
Melanisia
All thanks to John Kellogg
LimeMime565
As a circumcised 17 year old who lives in a very religious family: HAHAHAHAHAHHAHHA
Ringshadow
Non-jewish very religious? Thank Mr Kellogg!
trackfag
Why were u circumcised? Is your family jewish?
LimeMime565
They're Christian and did it for "cleanliness" apparently
Metopheles
Mr. Cornflakes also proposed to pour acid on girl's clitorises for the same reason. What a nutjob. Just leave kid's genitals alone.
valen00
yet only one of those things is considered abhorrent.
SwedishBalls
I'm glad mankind's still progressing, my gentiles are glad as well.
thetruegabyjamie
Are your Jews glad too?

Wait....what??

it's true! via wikipedia
Evergrey
Yep, a lot of girls were castrated in the USA in that time.
