The lobbyists for the food industry leaned so hard on the Congress & FDA that any foods not containing Sucrose can be labeled as « Sugar Free », despite having loads of any of the other common food sugars like maltose, lactose, fructose, etc.

I'm beginning to wonder if Walt was the nice guy we're led to believe.

Well, he was very nice in my memories of visiting him with Earl Felton when I was 8 years old.

My dad worked with and respected Werner Von Braun. People can be nice, respectable, or anything they want to be when they want to show that face to the world.

I'd be more interested in knowing the difference between Walt and Disney, Inc. on intellectual property issues. I have a feeling Walt was probably a bastard but the company is 100X worse.

Except for porn parodies, that is. They have a policy of not suing people who make porn using their characters because it provides free publicity. But make a ring in the shape of Mickey Mouse? They'll come down on you like a ton of bricks. (Long story from long ago but it always stuck in the craw of my jewelry-making mother.)

While certainly I have seen things since that I can say Walt Disney was not a saint, and it's possible more can come out that make it worse. I was certainly taken aback upon finding out the scandal Earl Felton was involved in, after living at his house for a summer in 1965, and he was very nice to me too. Although being handicapped he didn't take help well. I can only go by their demeaner at the time. Disney shook my hand and welcomed me to Disney Studios, all while I'm sure my jaw was on the floor.

Kellog was a weirdo who also thought a person should have multiple enemas a day.

"The Road To Wellville" is a movie well worth seeking out. It's funny, surreal...and based on the facts of Kellogg's life and the creation of corn flakes.

Graham crackers were also supposed to be a sexual suppressant, btw. It's not just your breakfast cereal that was weaponized.

How would things be without corn flakes?

Don't know...??

As a kid? I liked

Put a couple spoonfuls of: raisins, blueberries or strawberries in them...

Maybe slice a banana on top?

Grandkids still like them....

The FBI doesn’t need a warrant (for a wiretap) if they’re not going to court. (Legally they do but who’s going to stop them)

The inventor of “corn flakes”, a Dr. Kellogg of Michigan, was an early “health nut”, who became infamous for mailing his feces to unsuspecting contacts all over the USA. This precipitated new US POSTAL regulations banning the practice.

According to nutritional history experts @ LSU Pennington Center & U T Health Dallas, Kellogg’s was responsible for starting the American obesity pandemic by adding extra sugars to its cereal products and using the slogan “Breakfast is the most important meal of the Day” in a 1950’s ad campaign.

You think if he were alive today he might be working with Pfizer?

Kellogg was a nutcase who believed his own nonsense.

Those at Pfizer know what they are doing and care not how many they hurt & kill.
