Xofi, I am married to a Mexican, and even in our family (in Cuernevaca) I see my suegra struggle with diabetes. There is so much delicious whole grain and plant strong food that it makes eating relatively easy. The problem is resisting the call of refined sugars, refined flour and denatured everything. My wife, Liliana, can always fall prey to her antojos. But I do see this culture of poor food choices changing, one person at a time.
Thanks for posting. george

this is great. Latinos naturally eat like this with emphasis on raw fruits, veg, homemade soups/dishes, and homemade tortillas, except when they adopt fast-food american ways. too bad they lose that part of their Indian culture. this recipe was awesome. thanks

Kerry, you could use the recipe on the website. The problem is that any baking requires 3 to 4 hours. And there are all the different steps involved.
Dr. Graham was one of the first reformers of diet. There is much you could print up about vegetarian and whole grain that would be easier to do and in the spirit of Dr. Graham. You are welcome to use anything from our website. george

I live in Bound Brook, NJ, where Sylvester Graham lived and worked for a time during the 1820s.
We are planning a downtown street fair for Saturday, October 2nd, and intend to include some kind of graham cracker recipe or baking contest in the event. We have not “fleshed out” this concept, but it has already been included in the initial publicity materials….so I guess we’re committed! Do you have any suggestions? It seems you have done a lot of research. I don’t know if the authentic Graham cracker or breads (i.e.; high fiber, low sugar) would be a hit with the public here. Our town is very diverse, with many Latino immigrants but also many blue collar long-time folks given to typical American fare. Not sure what direction we should take with this!
Any thoughts?
Thanks much.
