Food for Thought?


One of the clutch-the-pearls claims made to illustrate the unacceptable behavior people engage in is that people visiting the Charter Street Cemetery are walking or sitting around ... EATING!

This article makes the rounds from time to time, and tells us that people used to eat in cemeteries pretty frequently.

Nothing about snacking in a cemetery strikes me as offensive or inappropriate on the face of it.  When I am finally laid to rest, come visit and bring snacks.  I won't mind. 

Leaving your half-eaten fried dough on someone's headstone ... well, yeah, don't be that guy.  Have some basic sense here.
