I know!

I was an American history major at the University of Chicago and the prof who taught the course on 19th century history and culture was a big believer in our reading original source material -- so I got to read many pages of Sylvester Graham's diatribes about "self indulgence." and the ultimate cure -- the Graham Cracker!

I've been telling people for years that Graham crackers were created to prevent masturbation -- and nobody believed me!

Thanks for setting the record straight.
