I'm totally "over" Thanksgiving anyway. Are turkey and stuffing REALLY that good? I vote "no". If I had my way I'd eat sushi, blue cheese crumbles, queso and buffalo wings.

Citation, please?
I can't find anything about this on the Googles.0 -
I celebrate thanksgiving but I never committed genocide and neither had any of my ancestors. I guess I'm doing it wrong.0

agreed.I am 100% behind this idea.
A holiday dedicated to eating? So wrong. So wrong. It should be illegal and anyone caught celebrating arrested.
perhaps a turkey-tax will help.
i'm currently developing a gravy recipe that includes raspberry ketones, cayenne lemon-water, sensa, and powdered cauliflower (instead of flour), so if anyone wants it, i'd be more than happy to share it and help keep your family healthy this holiday season.
That's what I'm saying...they don't need to cancel the entire holiday...just make it healthier by banning the turkey and potatoes and yams and all that unhealthy **** and replacing with cauliflower and what not...raspberry ketone gravy is an awesome idea...maybe a cauliflower turkey...0 -
I dont eat meat anymore. My husband doesnt like turkey. My family has stopped doing Thanksgiving. My kids arent home for Thanksgiving. All good reasons for me not to overeat. Thinking of going to Chicago to see Wicked with my husband instead and maybe getting dinner at a nice restaurant to celebrate. Or we may just stay home be couch potatoes and watch movies. When I was younger my grandparents used to do Thanksgiving and my grandmother would make us all contribute. Since they have passed no one wants to take on the challenge or expense. Oh well it is what it is! Either way NO ONE is MAKING you overeat! End of story!0

Are turkey and stuffing REALLY that good?
Yes, especially my sausage and cornbread stuffing. Also turkey is a rockin' protein source...0 -
maybe portion control is in order....0

If you can grow it you can eat it!
Does this count for beards? It's just something that popped into my head.0 -
That's fine, I know a few people who don't celebrate holidays. They get the family together, make a turkey and all the fixins, spend the day together on a certain Thursday (or the closest weekend) in November, but it is NOT Thanksgiving...they don't believe in the holiday or celebrating the holiday.
So, you know...we can do that instead.
PS: This works for Christmas too, if you don't want to celebrate that. Apparently, if you take out the tree and decorations, it's not Christmas anymore and everything else is ok, because it's just family getting together, eating and exchanging gifts for no apparent reason.0 -
Dagnabit. I was expecting Rick.0

That just means you haven't had really good turkey and stuffing! Although, queso and buffalo wings sounds pretty freaking awesome for Thanksgiving, especially since there's about 10 football games on that day.
My husband smokes the turkey these days, so it is pretty good..... for turkey. Turkey is just meh.0 -

I think that's nuts.
Not everyone's obese for the same reasons.
I reached my highest weight from drinking white chocolate mochas on my way home from my stressful job and going out for dinner 5 nights a week.
Not from Thanksgiving. I never even liked that food. I would usually pick at some cranberries and have one roll and then make myself scrambled eggs at 8 pm on that day.0 -

turkey has fat, yams caramelize (which creates sugar), potatoes are bad carbs!
please do some research before thanksgiving and see the truth!!0
