An interesting, educational movie (but not alway entertaining) movie to watch that is based on the Kellogg's Sanitorium is "Road to Wellville", starring Matthew Broderick (best known for being in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and is husband to Sarah Jessica Parker) which you may be able to find ot rent at your local video store or public library.

My son and I got to visit Cereal City USA in Battlecreek, MI when it was in operation and the of the most interesting facts about the invention of the corn flake is it happened by accident. A pot of boiled wheat on the stove too long and they decided to see what they could do to salvage it and decided to try putting it through a roller, which made it flat, and then toasted it and thus, the cornflake was born.
