//This is a roleplay blog
Do I think diet is an important part to maintain a good to mental health?
Yes, though I think a balanced nutritious diet does more for the individual’s wellbeing than avoiding any tactile, olfactory, or other gustatory sensation of pleasure. You’re allowed to enjoy things.
(Also vegetarianism is an ethical pitfall, because the farming practice needed to keep pests out of vegetables is equally if not more detrimental to animal welfare, but not as topical to Kellogg’s inane behavior).
Am I a eugenicist?
Fuck no.
As there does exist some political nuance between the “race betterment” Kellogg followed and Nazi race sciences; therefore, it is important to note he loathed the extremes of Nazism. This does not absolve him of his misplaced pseudoscience, his sexual bigotry, nor his advocation of female genital mutilation.
Nature thrives with genetic diversity.
Do I hate sex and masturbation?
No. I find it enjoyable on occasion.
Then why am I roleplaying John Kellogg?
He’s dead
His specific approach to sexuality, celibacy, and health are simultaneously interesting and worthy of mockery from someone who is willing to understand it and not subscribe to it.
Will I discuss his more controversial beliefs?
No. While this blog is meant to be reactionary, it is meant to satirize his clinic and sterile prudence specifically and how he promoted a bland lifestyle.
