John Harvey Kellogg was one of two brothers descended from an émigré to America from Debden in Essex. He noticed when a medical student that he could think better on a light breakfast of fruit and cereals and in 1880 set up a sanatorium in Battle Creek, Michegan with his brother Will. Patients were served health foods the brothers had invented and when they returned home they wished to continue to buy them. This created the demand for Kellogg health foods and Corn Flakes was one of the products served at the sanatorium.
