Bread, in particular, contained chemical additives that Graham hypothesized related to sexual drive, which he considered immoral. ]]> 2017-10-25 19:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ldaugherty19/695oad79719v/wish/200583648 ldaugherty19 https://padlet.com/ldaugherty19/695oad79719v/wish/200583882 To improve American lives, Graham sought to rid Americans of such immorality. Graham tinkered with his own recipe for bread. This recipe resulted in a cracker quite different than the one we know today. Relatively, Graham also preached a healthy lifestyle, which focused on a vegetarianism and purity.]]> 2017-10-25 19:09:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ldaugherty19/695oad79719v/wish/200583882 ldaugherty19 https://padlet.com/ldaugherty19/695oad79719v/wish/200584092 Sylvester Graham was born on July 5, 1794 as the youngest of 17. His father, a clergyman, died when Sylvester was a toddler. A couple years later, his mother was said to go clinically insane. Years later, Sylvester Graham became a Presbyterian clergymen, like his father. After his marriage to Sarah Earl, he went on to work for the Pennsylvania Temperance Society.]]> 2017-10-25 19:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ldaugherty19/695oad79719v/wish/200584092 ldaugherty19 https://padlet.com/ldaugherty19/695oad79719v/wish/200584230 Graham's motivation behind the creation of the cracker is a strange one. Graham hypothesized that the chemical additive that was put in bread caused one to behave immorally. Being against such actions, Graham invented his cracker to rid society of such desires and actions.]]> 2017-10-25 19:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ldaugherty19/695oad79719v/wish/200584230 ldaugherty19 https://padlet.com/ldaugherty19/695oad79719v/wish/200584502 After he retired, Graham co-founded the American Vegetarian Society, which was incorporated into various parts of the U.S. food system, such as John Harvey and W.K. Kellogg's breakfast cereals. Today, we also use a far-off variation of the Graham Cracker to make America's favorite campfire snack, s'mores. ]]> 2017-10-25 19:10:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ldaugherty19/695oad79719v/wish/200584502 ldaugherty19 https://padlet.com/ldaugherty19/695oad79719v/wish/201825111 After awhile, Graham obtained a rather large following. These people called themselves Grahamites. These followers practiced abstinence from alcohol, frequent bathing, daily brushing of teeth, and vegetarianism. ]]> 2017-10-30 16:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ldaugherty19/695oad79719v/wish/201825111 ldaugherty19 https://padlet.com/ldaugherty19/695oad79719v/wish/201827175 Similar to Graham's dietary reform, In 1944 Donald Watson coined the term "vegan" and co-founded the Vegan Society in England in 1951. By the time Watson died in 2005, there were 2 million self-identifying vegans in the U.S., some of which were Woody Harrelson, Fiona Apple, and Dennis Kucinich.]]> 2017-10-30 16:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ldaugherty19/695oad79719v/wish/201827175 ldaugherty19 https://padlet.com/ldaugherty19/695oad79719v/wish/202714583 2017-11-01 21:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ldaugherty19/695oad79719v/wish/202714583 ldaugherty19 https://padlet.com/ldaugherty19/695oad79719v/wish/202715286 2017-11-01 21:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ldaugherty19/695oad79719v/wish/202715286
