Suppress Carnal Urges

Oz! I can't believe you didn't know what Graham Crackers are! But when you asked me what exactly they were made of, I couldn't answer you! Anyway, I looked it up and learned a lot about them myself. First of all, I learned that that the creator, Rev. Sylvester Graham, made them soley with "graham flour", that his bread was the main staple of his "Graham Diet", a regiment to suppress carnal urges. Graham also thought that ketchup and mustard caused insanity. He gained many followers including Will Keith Kellogg, and even set up boardinghouses, where his diet was observed, in New York, Boston and other cities. Technically, crackers are not really graham crackers unless they are made with graham flour, which is simply a coarsely-ground hard whole-wheat flour. There are brands sold on the market today, mostly in health-food stores and natural-food markets, that are still true graham crackers. So gee, I learned what was in Graham crackers, and so much more! Aren't cultural exchanges great? More reading HERE  ~Boz
