Trivia:

Graham Crackers were invented by minister Sylvester Graham in the mid-19th century, they were intended to be not only healthful but biblically correct: Graham believed the key to healthy living was eating as Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden, which meant no meat and nothing but plants and water.
