A strange character in that he preached some ideas that were correct (excessive meat eating is a major cause of health issues) but also a lot of crazy/harmful stuff. It is a satisfying metaphor that his namesake cracker lives on as a dessert- all it needed to be a classic was a little bit of pleasure thrown in

The excessive meat eating is also something that should be parsed, because not all meat is the same. It's all about lifestyle and activities, especially when you're diet is meat based. My heritage is Lakota and they were famous for being fierce warriors, skilled in many ways, while their diet was mostly bison meat turned into pemmican.

I was a vegetarian for 15 years but the turkey, salmon, trout,and buffalo just called me in ways no other meat has. Chicken, cow, and pig taste good but also sometimes taste like pain and suffering.

All in moderation and never taking more than I need, that good medicine.
