“They do what?? Then stuff what into where??? OH HELL NO… I AM OUT!!!”. Eating a turkey is like eating your pet dog or cat. We turkey's help humans, we are raised for food produce 130 times as much excrement as the entire human population. They’re turkeys from all around being eaten, and we turkeys are no “bird brains”. On the week of Thanksgiving hundreds of people are getting turkey’s, but what they don’t care about is that turkeys are being killed. By the estimate of about 46 million turkeys are being killed each year for Thanksgiving. In other special holidays like Christmas 22 million are being eaten each year, and 19 million turkeys on Easter. In the year 2011, 736 million pounds of turkey were eaten in the United States.

    It sounds a little suspicious to me to blame the turkey with the contagious fatigue that wipes out the family right before it's time to do the dishes. After all, I eat turkey sandwiches a few times a week and I haven't felt the need to settle down for a nap in the dining hall.

  • Argumentative Essay About Thanksgiving

    1319 Words  | 3 Pages

    The table can be filled with many different types of foods, and it differs from family to family. However, there are some foods that are seen at almost every Thanksgiving table. First off, the turkey, it is the most important part of the celebration for most families in the United States. There are multiple reasons to why the turkey has become such a big part of Thanksgiving. For example, a colonist named William Bradford wrote in his journals that colonists hunted wild turkeys during autumn of 1621, which is named as the first Thanksgiving. Another reason to why the turkey is an important part of the holiday is because the birds are big and can feed a lot of people compared to other birds such as chickens (Trex, 2008). Although the turkey is the most important food on the table for most families, it is common for most families to also serve some sort of sweet potatoes, for example, a sweet potato casserole with marshmallows. As Thanksgiving is a feast holiday a dessert is usually also served, one of the most common desserts on Thanksgiving is a pumpkin pie. The pumpkin has been around for hundreds of years, and always been a part of thanksgiving, however, it is more likely that the pumpkin was served after being baked or stewed rather than a pie on the first years when Thanksgiving were celebrated (Trex, 2008). As it is a feast holiday the table has many more types of foods, but it varies from family to family what is put onto the table, however, the turkey, sweet potatoes, and the pumpkin pie is almost always found at every Thanksgiving

We know that you do not take submissions, but we would love to at least be considered to be included in your wonderful book series.

She then goes on to give ways to minimize this waste.

  • Immigrants Persuasive Speech

    Thank you Kenneth, I understand your point. However, my point is, why even call them immigrants in a negative light? This is what I am upset about, I do not like the classification. I wish we could just call them people, not associate them as being immigrants. I think this has a negative connotation to it that I wish would be removed. However, this will take time because so many people have a bad stereotype for immigrants.

    I have had enough, I’m so sick of the accusations from some liberals/ progressives of how terrible conservatives are that I want to set the record straight. 1) Just because I don’t want to vote for Hillary Clinton does not mean I’m waging a war on women, I am a woman. I don’t want to vote for her because I believe she is a liar and I don’t trust her. Just because she has not been charged with crimes does not mean she hasn’t committed any. We know that she has, there is indisputable evidence. 2) Just because I don’t believe every word that President Obama spews does not make me a racist. I am a firm believer in Martin Luther Kings dream that a person should be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. Our President has lied so
