One can't ignore the famous Doctor Kellogg or his brother.
They certainly predate 1924.
Then there's Sylvester Graham.
And for a real treat try the writings of Thomas Tryon [September 6,
1634 – August 21, 1703]
who wrote extensively on diet and advocated vegetarianism. Ben
Franklin read and endorsed
Tryon's practices at various times.
