Vegans proselytize like religious fanatics and I have not had the best experiences with what they call food. Some is good but so much of it seems like the erzatz-foods consumed by societies under stress of total war, economic privation or gross mismanagement.

I've been a vegetarian for 44 years. Eat what you want to eat. You'll have to pay the price medically regardless of any spiritual implications. If it is a moral transgression to eat meat, then you'll have to pay, it it's not, then you won't. I just know that I am not going to eat an old dead bird. Otherwise I don't a fuck, I just want to spend some time with my family, and feel some gratitude for what I've got.

I’ve been a meat eater for 52 years. I tried going vegetarian once, but had to give it up because I was doing heavy construction and my restrictive diet was leaving me too weak and lacking in stamina. Once I went back to carcasses I could keep up again. “Old Dead Bird” Yum!

I awoke one day, about 40 years ago, and couldn't face eating meat, only fish, and, then shortly after, poultry. Didn't eat red meat for 28 years. No moral reason, no high sense. Just couldn't stand the idea of eating it. Still don't eat veal or lamb, and "medium" is as red as I can face it. Still, to this day, I generally prefer seafood over everything else.

I'm a vegetable. Even a vegan irregularly, but moo-juice is hard to quit. There's half-and-half in my coffee this morning.

My stuffing wouldn't work in Tofurkey--it's made with Italian turkey sausage!

Meh. I say "Happy Thanksgiving" but I honestly have no issue with "Turkey Day". We had an 18 pound bird, stuffing cooked outside (but drenched in homemade turkey stock), and beef Wellington cooked rare. The Wellington sure fit Dennis Leary's description of meat: ""Meat is murder and murder tastes pretty damn good!"

I have had vegetarians to holiday meals (so far no vegans), but I have never done tofurkey. Last time I made a separate vegetarian main-dish for Thanksgiving, I did a winter squash stuffed with black-eyed peas and Basmati rice with a very mild curry. Our side dishes (except the stuffing) are usually vegetarian but usually not vegan - we like cream, butter and eggs. Switching to olive oil from butter isn't a big stretch when my wife and I cook - we try to eat something closer to a Mediterranean diet for the rest of the year and splurge on the holidays.

Seeing as how "Thanksgiving" is really a celebration of destroying an indigenous people, I don't see why the fuck people are offended by "turkey day." We had ham. :beer2:

I suppose you could really be offended if you're Armenian.

Amen sister! You have nailed the spirit of the holiday with a modicum of fucks given, and I applaud you.

I did a similar experiment a couple of decades ago. Lasted almost a year until I went to the folks' house for Thanksgiving. The brisket smelled too good to pass up. Once I got that massive protein hit in my system I realized why I'd been feeling puny for the past several months. Needless to say, that was the end of that experiment. I still take it easy on the animal protein, but it's been a regular part of the diet ever since.

Happy belated Turkey day... or Holiday.. or Thanksgiving . Just hope you all had a good one. :D
