Graham Cracker Day marks the anniversary of the birth of their inventor, Minister Sylvester Graham, on July 5, 1794. Graham crackers arrived early in the 19th century, and they aimed to promote a vegetarian lifestyle free of sin and combat masturbation.

Minister Graham believed that self-pleasuring was sinful and required a cure. He recommended switching to a vegetarian diet and eating whole wheat, bran, and wheat germ crackers to mitigate sexual desire. His followers, "Grahamites," initiated the first sexually abstinent vegetarian movement in the United States that abstained from meat, spices, and sexual activity. Grahamites believed sexual activity and eating meat leads to insanity and blindness.
The movement eventually became extinct, but the graham cracker remains, and thank heaven for that. Where would cheesecake be without its graham cracker crust? Or S'mores?
