I just discovered this little tidbit and had to share. Did you know that the graham cracker was named after a man who thought that an unhealthy eating style led to sexual excess. According to Snopes Rev. Sylvester Graham, a Presbyterian minister, was "convinced that eating meat and fats leads to sinful sexual excess", and that "ketchup and mustard cause insanity". "He touted the merits of a high fiber diet and promoted the use of homemade unsifted wheat flour instead of refined white flour."

Today we are unsure who actually created the little wonder known as the graham cracker but I imagine Rev. Graham becomes restless when we pull that package out here. First, most grahams are now made with bleached white flour and secondly just look at what we do with a graham cracker.

Those days of grahams slathered in homemade frosting and wrapped in wax paper for a lunch snack are over baby- today we snack on grahams covered with peanut butter and Nutella, a creamy chocolaty hazelnut spread that is "omg" delicious! Actually, you don't even need the grahams. Salty pretzel rods, Nilla wafers, a spoon and my finger are some of my favorite ways to enjoy. You can find Nutella on the shelves with the peanut butter- imagine that.

Oh and as for the lifestyle this snack brings about- lets just say Kilo and I remain a bit nutty but with big smiles on our faces! Enjoy!
