Mitten: Cereal City
Shortly after the Civil War, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg of Battle Creek began experimenting with healthy breakfast foods at the Sanitarium in Battle Creek. The cereal company invented wheat and corn flakes, and were at the cutting edge of advertising at the time. William Post, a former patient at the Sanitarium, formed Post Cereal, and both companies are still in operation today.
