It certainly is interesting.
Apart from the extremely poor, people seemed to eat far more healthily;  lots of veg.

Mr Kellogg certainly had bizarre ideas but some people from London may remember a character who preached the doctrine,  'meat causes passion'.  He walked the streets of central London with a sandwich board and handed out (probably sold, I don't remember), leaflets which he printed himself.  He was around for many years, one of London's well known characters.  I saw him lots of times and recall an article about him, with photograph, in a Sunday supplement.

Here he is!

Sorry if I am sidetracking but the article you have linked to brought him to mind.
