The Treat of the Graham Cracker
Though the end of May means that Masturbation Month is officially over, it is acceptable (and encouraged!) to continue to celebrate this time-honored solo-love love-fest throughout the year ... this is similar to the notion that April is Earth Day Month, but many continue to recycle the other 11 months of the year (or so the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency informs us).
- SIDEBAR #1: May 31 is International No-Tobacco Day; if you are an employee of Philip Morris International, a smoking chimpanzee, or a resident of New York City or Europe, then it's just another day for you.
- In the 1800s, Sylvester Graham led a health food crusade based on the idea that sexual excess including masturbation, erotic dreams and intercourse more than once a month was caused by rich and spicy foods. He prescribed a bland and boring diet; the Graham cracker, in fact, is a sweetened version of his invention.
- SIDEBAR #2: The month of June is recognized as Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender History Month and the goddess comes unglued is inviting us on this journey.
another point of view ...
yes! there's much to like about graham crackers, now more so. i prefer mine with lots of jam.
peri: ah, chocolate .. i can safely say that i can't ever get enough!
michelle: thanks for swinging by! i'll be over to your blog in a bit!
JADEDMANIAC: i'm telling you, there's opportunity to make a fast buck everywhere .. we just need to take things out of context to see the value of it all!
yet another food you Americans are withholding from Australia! We are a friendly people, why must you be so unkind?
LOZ: hold on! you make it sound like there's nothing to eat in australia except cardboard.
that can't possibly be true, cuz i always hear about how the australians are such big BBQ fans -- what are you guys BBQing there?
LESTER T: oh, as kids we got graham crackers in our lunch boxes, now i know what my mom trying to do.
LOZ: make mine medium rare! i don't care for the grill marks.
And, "corn Flakes were originally designed by John Harvey Kellogg to promote health and decrease sex drive!"
I guess I'll skip the cerialfrom now on.
Oh my, so that was WHY graham crackers were made. Does that mean people had excess in their sexuality?
Too bad, I can't find them Graham Crackers here in NL. Maybe I try some American shop and see if they have. I used to eat heaps of this while growing up.
THE DUTCHED PINAY: personally, i don't think there can ever be an EXCESS OF HUMAN SEXUALITY. as someone had reminded me recently, the most pacifist of ape societies is the bonobo (pygmy) chimpanzee.
these chimps use sexual greetings among its members -- i forget, but i believe there's only one taboo relationship (mother-child), otherwise, all the members greet each other by having sex. there is no recorded instance of conflict in that society.
though you might not be able to find graham crackers in NL, i remember buying DIGESTIVE BISCUITS all the time -- and, they taste very similiar to graham crackers -- to have with my weak tea.
speak up!
