Spicy food has a history, particularly in the US, of being associated with masturbation and hypersexuality. Puritans wants food as bland as possible.

Huh. So that's why.

Fun fact: Kellog was proud to say he never consummated his completely celibate marriage. Also, he had multiple intense enemas every day that blasted pressurized water against his prostate at rate of 17 gallons a minute (or slower when it was the more viscous yogurt enema).
