After hearing that Obama will be getting his Thanksgiving turkey from Willmar, MN, which is just west of where I live, I decided to do a little research, and came upon this video.
I certainly am not trying to sway anyone either way. I am not a vegetarian and could never live without meat, but my family has agreed to forego turkey this year upon my request.
The food industry in this country is out of control!! I understand the need for meat for a balanced and healthy diet, but it's just the way this industry has become a mass production line with so much suffering and waste . It's so awesome that your family is willing to try something different this year- kudos to you! :)
the video is beyond words. it's AMAZING that you and your family are actually going without turkey this year. as nikki said, this country is out of control. it will truly be a meaningful thanksgiving for you all:)
