He literally attributed delicious foods as a reason for masturbation.
They stirred up feelings of desire.
“The use of highly seasoned food, of rich sauces, spices and condiments, sweetmeats, and in fact all kinds of stimulating foods, has an undoubted influence upon the sexual nature of boys, stimulating those organs into too early activity, and occasioning temptations to sin which otherwise would not occur. The use of mustard, pepper, pepper-sauce, spices, rich gravies, and all similar kinds of food, should be carefully avoided by young persons. They are not wholesome for either old or young; but for the young they are absolutely dangerous.”
“Plain Facts for Old and Young,” John Harvey Kellogg 1877
His lofty goals were to make such bland food that people would not sin.
