John Kellogg

While researching radical diet changes that are said to promote health, I was reminded of the misguided efforts of John Kellogg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Harvey_Kellogg. The man seemed to be obsessed with stamping out passion and energy from life, a way of living that I most assuredly would abhor.

His way of thinking does beg the question though, is a simple alteration of one’s diet capable of producing drastic changes in health and demeanor? Are there specific foods that might tap into the wells of youth? Our tastes change as we age, as our taste buds wither and die, so might it be wise to look to the tastes of children to determine what we should consume?
