Oh Kellogg’s from the 1930s. My 2010 self had to snicker at the description of this cookbook. Fiber and bran are still sold on the market as an important part of diets, but I’ve never run across a cookbook that addressed a family’s…um…regularity.

Have you ever read a cookbook that used the words “constipation” and “laxative” in the opening paragraph as selling points?

Perhaps the meals you serve are “bulk-minus” meals. Kellogg’s All-Bran is the “bulk-plus” food so necessary in the well-balanced diet. Serve as a cereal, combined with other cereals, or use it as an ingredient in many tempting and economical dishes. All the recipes in this helpful folder have been triple tested in our Cottage Kitchen so that you may get the fullest enjoyment from the use of All-Bran in your home. Laboratory tests show (1) that All-Bran is a safe and gentle food that relieves constipation due to insufficient “bulk,” (2) that it does not lose its effectiveness with continued use; (3) that it is a good source of iron and Vitamin B. Kellogg’s All-Bran is accepted by the American Medical Association Committee on Foods as a laxative food for normal people.
