PARODY: St. Louis Fed Tells Americans to Eat Tofurkey to Combat Thanksgiving Inflation
NewsBusters ^ | 11/24/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

The St. Louis Federal Reserve saw fit to patronize Americans about the inflated price tag of this year’s Thanksgiving dinners by telling them to just eat soy instead.

The St. Louis Fed published a blog Nov. 18 doing public relations for the vegan lobby while discouraging purchases of turkey: “[A] hearty Thanksgiving dinner serving of turkey costs $1.42. A tofurkey (soybean) dinner serving with the same amount of calories costs $0.66 and provides almost twice as much protein.” The blog, headlined “Turkey or Tofurkey,” continued: “Keep in mind that this plant-based meal would be almost 3 times larger by weight than the poultry-based meal and may either keep you at the dinner table longer or provide you with more leftovers.” Of course, the St. Louis Fed’s nonsense telling the plebeians to seek alternate food sources is what happens when elitists don’t accept responsibility for crises they cause. Berenberg Capital Markets Chief Economist Mickey Levy stated in an Oct. 31 op-ed that “[t]he Fed must acknowledge that its monetary policy has been a source of inflation, and that it will need to raise interest rates more quickly than it presumed.” [Emphasis added.]

...and if you throw you’re dog and cat in the stew pot it’s free, and just think of all the money you’ll save on dog and cat food (helpful hint-you can eat your pets’ leftover food too).

I’ll occasionally have tofu mixed in with an Asian noodle dish, but that’s it. It is wholly unworthy as the star of the show.

Yuck.

We are going to have pizza this year. And Shiner Bock. A big spread is too much trouble for the few of us. But the Shiner bock is not too much trouble.

The left is making a concerted effort to wean consumers off of prosperity, telling them to tighten their belts and get used to having less. They want to get us ready for socialist poverty which only creates equality in shared misery.

unHappy no thanks taking Xiden. There’s plenty of Blue cities that have abundance of rats 🐀 for delicious substitutes. Biden’s master Chairman Xi would heartily approve of such a delicacy.

Bureaucrats need to be aware that people are getting pissed regarding their overreaching dictatorial edicts and regulations.

Like the elites of the St. Louis Fed Reserve are going to be chowing down on soy products for T Day. These hypocrites will be slobbering the mushroom gravy all over their butterball birds. Take that to the bank.

Notice that today’s answer to everything is the same:

You need to live a life of deprivation, you’ve had it too good for too long.

I gotta say, the narrative of stepping away from meat is getting louder and stronger. This article may be a parody, but there is a ring of truth to it. I suspect this is part of the Green New Deal and the radical left’s agenda...

Isn’t Tofurkey a highly processed food? They aren’t cheap either.
