The banquet was held at the sanitarium on December 4, 1907. Battle Creek Food Co. products served at the dinner include roast protose and NoKo. Protose was a meat substitute made from wheat gluten and peanuts. NoKo was a coffee substitute that purportedly avoided side effects of caffeine such as headaches, sleeplessness, and indigestion.
