And a religious /vegetarian/health food nut in excellent company, 
alongside other 19th-century... interesting people, including John 
Salisbury (who appears to have really been onto something), and Dr. 
John Harvey Kellogg, of Battle Creek, Michigan, the subject of the 
movie "The Road To Wellville," and whose surviving cookbook, "Science 
In The Kitchen" is a laff riot of Escoffier-type recipes made with 
Kellogg's own commercial products, grain extracts, vegetarian meat 
substitutes such as Protose (gluten dough, apparently), etc.
