...When you eat a turkey for thanksgiving do you ever think how bad and poorly treated that turkey was and how it can make you sick. Turkey can be bad for you and can make you sick which can lead to an unhealthy life. It’s not only bad for you but it is also bad for the turkey because many people get a turkey for thanksgiving each year and 46 million turkeys around the United States are killed just so we could eat them. My first reason is that eating turkey can give you diseases and can possibly kill you. Whenever they use a dose of antibiotics on a turkey to stimulate their growth and to keep them alive from diseases it can pose a risk to anyone who eats that turkey. Even though dark meat turkey contains vitamins and minerals it also contains...

...discuss is Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a holiday that has its origins in North America circa 1621 when Wampanoag Indians shared a Harvest Feast with the colonists of Plymouth. The holiday was continued throughout the years until it was declared an official holiday by Abraham Lincoln in 1863. (Staff) This holiday is generally celebrated by people who live in North America. These people generally span across a wide range of cultures, and the actual celebration may vary from family to family. A Thanksgiving Day celebration normally consists of a group of family or friends, or mix of both who gather together for a large dinner and companionship. One custom people follow is gathering together. Thanksgiving is a time to appreciate and spend time with your loved ones, whomever they may be. Another custom is the president’s annual turkey pardon, where he “pardons” one or two turkeys from becoming a Thanksgiving meal. The Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade is also a customary tradition. It runs in New York and is broadcasted live on National Television every year. One custom that is celebrated by about 90% of Americans is the cooking of a large Turkey as the main dish for the celebratory meal.(Staff) The cultural traditions for this Holiday have evolved over time and will most likely continue to evolve throughout the years so I do not believe that a change impacts the holiday or traditions negatively. The most important entrée served at the Thanksgiving meal is the turkey. The Turkey is the...

...Chapter 3 Theory Why Is Turkey Cheaper When Demand Is Higher? Chapter 3 Theory Why Is Turkey Cheaper When Demand Is Higher? As perplexing as it is, frozen turkeys are always the cheapest during Thanksgiving. This is a trend that seems to go against the rules of economics. Currently there are two different explanations for why this unusual occurrence happens every year. The most common way of explaining this high-demand price dip is that retailers such as a grocery stores and supermarkets are selling ‘loss leaders’. A loss leader is the representation of item on sale that will persuade consumers to enter the store. Stores will advertise low prices for a big-ticket item or one that is high demand in order to get customers in the door. The retailers will in the beginning take a loss from selling the item at a lower price than normal but since so many consumers are purchasing them, the loss will not affect their profit. This is precisely the intentions of supermarkets when it comes to Thanksgiving and selling turkeys. This trend does go against what most economists would say about supply and demand, but retailers are still making a profit from this. Since most consumers in the nation buy their turkeys for Thanksgiving in November, over the last decade, prices have decreased at an average of about 9 percent between the months of October and December (Rampell, 2013). By giving such a popular item a discount, this gives retailers hope that the consumers will buy several other...

...Thanksgiving (According to the Turkey) I am a turkey who lives at a farm with other turkeys. But Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Then I remembered what happened last year on this day. On Thanksgiving, the farmer came in and chose one of us and took him away. After a few hours, I heard the farmer speaking to his wife saying, “That sure was one yummy turkey.” I knew that this means that the turkey the farmer chose will become food to the humans. Some of you might be wondering, how many turkeys are killed for your satisfaction. But first, how about I tell you about my life as a turkey. Every year, especially around Thanksgiving day, the farmers feed us a lot of food. Apparently, the farmers give us only corn and soybeans. I don’t know why they give us these. The farmers also give us these vitamins or minerals for no apparent reason. I guess that the farmer just wants us all to be a healthy turkey before they choose one of us. But I hear that in the wild, turkeys are free and can do whatever. Unlike...

...Smoked Turkey on a Duluth Forge Kamado Grill The traditional Thanksgiving dinner is turkey, cranberry sauce and stuffing. Some people throw in sweet potatoes with marshmellows and green bean casserole with the fried onions on top but it's really the turkey that is the star of the show. The First Thanksgiving in 1621 between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians at Plymouth Colony had native wild turkeys that were slowly roasted over an open wood fire. Why Turkey is perfect for smoking on a Kamado? Turkeys are usually roasted in an oven for hours, while the chef makes the rest of the dinner. The oven is being dominated by the main event so planning the rest of the dinner around the turkey can be stressful. The most valuable real estate in the kitchen on Thanksgiving Day is the oven and taking the turkey outside to the grill frees up the oven for other dishes like stuffing....

...Every year, every Thanksgiving, Americans look forward to the President of the United States to present the pardoned turkey. For the last seven years, it has been President Obama with both his daughters, Sasha and Malia cracking dad jokes and finishing with a Queen-knighting like process where the President pardons a turkey. Naturally, the media coverage is abnormally large, maybe due to the fact that it humanizes the Obama family or maybe because it’s a funny American tradition. Rewinding slightly back in time, Harry Truman was the first to really receive a live turkey but it was actually on Christmas instead of Thanksgiving. John F. Kennedy first got a turkey in which he celebrated for being just the a turkey for the white house. President...

Imagine other people’s hands touching your food. Who knows where their hands have been or whether or not they washed them before they started eating.

As a federal a popular holiday in the U.S., Thanksgiving is one of the major holidays of the year. The event that Americans commonly call the "First Thanksgiving" was celebrated to give thanks to God for helping the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony survive their first brutal winter in New England. The first Thanksgiving feast lasted three days, providing enough food for 53 pilgrims and 90 Native Americans. The feast consisted of fish and shellfish, wild fowl, venison, berries and fruit, vegetables, harvest grains, and the Three Sisters: beans, dried Indian maize or corn, and squash. The New England colonists were accustomed to regularly celebrating "thanksgivings"—days of prayer thanking God for blessings such as military victory or the end of a drought. Thanksgiving Day in the United States started as a way of giving thanks to food collected from a good harvest or problems that were fixed. It originated in 1621 and was a religious festival, but is now largely secular. It is now a holiday on the fourth Thursday of November. Many people trace the origins of the modern Thanksgiving Day to the harvest celebration that the Pilgrims held in Plymouth, Massachusetts...
