    Reverend Sylvester Graham didn’t create the graham cracker or graham flour but both were named after him. he was a major figure in the iteration of the vegan movement/lifestyle that existed in the 18th century.

    What’s funny is, his story has a neat parallel to Doctor James H. Salisbury who is credited similarly with the invention of the Salisbury Steak, AND there was a stint of time during which they were both concurrently alive.

    Their dietary policy positions were basically diametrically opposed to one another and i feel it’s a great injustice of history that they probably never crossed one another’s paths or had a big debate.

    I really wish epic rap battles of history would cover this…
