    I read somewhere that cereal was invented for the same reason. Mr. Kellog invented Corn Flakes to reduce lust. Now where did I read that...
    I've read that too, not sure where though. It was for a whole slew of maladies.

    what kinds of maladies?

    distemper, discontent, disquiet of the bowel, sleeping problems, sexual performance problems, sexual obsession, obesity.

    There were a few more that I'm not remembering. It was like how soda used to be promoted, back when coke had actual coke in it.

    isn't it weird how ideas like this change. kinda weird to think that one day we may look back at today and be shocked at something or other we today consume like it's nothing.

    Yup, I have a feeling that our current superfood craze will look as silly to us, as what snake oil salesmen used to do in the western frontier.

    When I went to Rio back in February, all the brasilians I was with at the conference were like, "Hey, you should try the acai berries out on the beach."
    "Oh ok, what do they taste like?"
    "Don't know, never tried them."

    LOL. I only met one of the brasilians at the conference that had tried them, and didn't like them very much.

    After the births of both my children and extended hospital stays due to c-sections, both times all I wanted at the hospital were graham crackers. Now I see the connection....

    NVM answered my own question. By of all things reading the article.

    I thought the idea was to just make assumptions based on the title. You're not actually supposed to read it, are you???

    That's why I bought a fire ring for the back yard.

    Light snow, my camping chairs, a nice down jacket, the dog screwing around trying to kill the snow while I'm roasting up marshmallows and hitting the moonshine right from the jar.

    Well, I intend to keep on eating graham crackers and having sex just to disprove this theory, and possibly do both at the same time! ; )

    I think the BF has a fire pit in their back yard- which is where I'll be.
    I have a fake one- but I'm not sure I'd be comfortable using it- they use theirs up at his place.

    so- yeah- I think the plan will be to try to include that. because.

    I'm happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but...

    Smores made with nutella instead of chocolate are the greatest smores ever made.
