Graham crackers were originally invented as a cure for which cardinal sin?
Lust
Sloth
Greed
Gluttony
Fact: Graham crackers were created by Sylvester Graham, a 19th-century Presbyterian minister and health reformer who believed that a bland, plant-based diet could help suppress sexual urges—what he viewed as the sin of lust. Graham promoted whole-grain flour and simple foods as part of a strict moral and physical regimen, arguing that processed foods overstimulated the body and led to immoral behavior. His teachings formed the “Graham diet,” extending beyond food to promote temperance, exercise, and early rising for health and moral virtue.
Correct Answer: Lust
