__________ is/are underrated.

Graham crackers were invented by a pastor that thought the bland taste would reduce teen boys' need to masturbate.

Yes, and those influenced by Graham included one John Harvey Kellogg.  You may have heard of some of his products.  He too believed that a "simple, pure and unstimulating diet" would quench man's unwholesome sexual desire.  This is why, for example, Corn Flakes and Grape Nuts are rather bland—and why John had a falling-out with his brother when the latter began selling a product similar to Corn Flakes but with added sugar.

If you've never read about Kellogg and his Battle Creek Sanitarium, then you've missed out on a fascinating slice of American history.  (Teaser:  yogurt isn't just for oral consumption!)

Somehow that teaser does NOT make me want to seek out the story.

It's basically just an older version of today's recommended practice of taking probiotics if you're on an antibiotic.
