“Cereal” comes from the Roman goddess of harvest and agriculture – Ceres

March 7, 1897
Today is National Ceral Day. On this date, Dr. John Kellogg served corn flakes for the first time to his patients at his hospital in Battle Creek, Michigan. Dr. Kellogg wanted Americans to eat corn flakes because he thought the bland food would reduce the desire to commit carnal sins. They wouldn’t be sold commercially until 1906. Corn flakes did not put a stop to self love.

In honor of National Cereal Day remember to have the true Breakfast of Champions in celebration today!
