Thanks Robert

I doubt you would have botched it, you seem to have a pretty good grounding in the basics. I'm glad you mentioned the dietary constraints. I thought about it, but felt it was getting too long already.

Here's a funny story. Mormons are more strict with regards to diet depending on the household and sometimes parts of the country. I grew up in southern Idaho in a family that felt even caffeinated softdrinks were verboten (its not by the way). My dad had gone away for a few weeks to finish some schooling. I think I was around 8 years old. My dad came back and confessed to us that he had consumed a beverage without first reading the label. I think this was some life lesson he was trying to convey to us kids. Anyway I was 18 years old when I first came across this particular beverage in a fountain drink dispenser and was shocked to discover Mello Yello was not an alcoholic beverage as I had assumed.

Sex is the other social difference in that abstinence before marriage, even among adults, is the rule among devout mormons.
