Will Keith Kellogg was born on April 7, 1860, in Battle Creek Michigan. He was a shy and quiet yet hard-working young man, but he did not thrive in the classroom.

Circumcision is NOT Necessary The baby, Phil, is less than a day old. His tiny head still slightly misshaped, his eyelids puffy, his mouth half-open in his sleep. The nurse has taken him from his mother and is carrying him to another room in the pediatric ward. The nurse clicks on a white metal lamp with a twist of her fingers, removes the child from a cozy blue blanket, and lays him in a cold molded plastic form that is bolted tightly to the counter.
