Are you about to enjoy your Thanksgiving turkey? Well, Salon writer Lindsay Abrams wants you to stop. Stop right now! Not content to give liberal ideology a rest even on this holiday, Abrams attempts to guilt trip her readers into giving up turkey for Thanksgiving.
Her arguments against turkey are pretty much what we've heard before. That modern Thanksgiving turkeys are not natural in that they are too fat to fly or breed. Also we get hit with guilt trips about their living conditions. Of course, such turkeys would never even exist in the first place if they were not so ideal for the Thanksgiving table in terms of weight and cost. So here is Abrams doing her to dissuade us from enjoying turkey today:

These are the progressive A-holes who want to “Eat The Rich”. So they would be turkey eater by proxy.
What vapid dooooshbags.
Sounds like most liberals and their supporters.
I don’t like turkey. Going with the green chili pot roast this year. And I made a big ham over the weekend that already started my days with a great omelet.
Mrs. Abrams’ little princess, Lindsey, sounds like she doesn’t have very much to think about these days. She needs to try to find a REAL job that will keep her busy.
I hope people do seriously take their advice.
What they describe is true and is simply appalling. People should be offended at this.
And besides, it just leaves more turkey for me.
>>Can’t stand the foul fowl myself but I don’t demand that others not eat it. That would make me a liberal.<<
Yams/sweet potatoes (candied or not) make me physically ill (really, not metaphorically). My wife hates pumpkin pie (which I really love).
Not everyone loves everything but there is a lot of different stuff to enjoy (my Italian friend always has lasagna on Thanksgiving in addition to the turkey, etc.).
Lindsay Abrams to the masses: Respect my Authoritas!
Turkey is just plain good eats ANYTIME of the year
And in addition no doubt this so called deep thinker probably gets her turkey at the local mega mart. Those who shoot their own don’t have to feel guilty about anything
I will. Soon as I’m done!
I could go for a good cheeseburger, supreme type pizza, or heavy calzone.
Turkey and the traditional dinner was never that big to me.
Why is it bad for humans to eat other animals when we are animals? I don’t see her harassing mountain lions for feasting on little animals.
Too fat to breed? Maybe I’m dense, but tell me where they come from.
I’m thinking of getting La Caja China for cooking turkey. I’ve heard great things about it.
As a meat, we do turkey year round. Maybe not the big bird with all the fixings, but turkey is a really low cost meat. And is great as a leftover.
Salon: shove it.
Artificially bred. Ironically perhaps with a turkey baster.
Salon should be ridiculed at all times. This story illustrates perfectly why. They want to politicize every second of every day of every year for ever and will go to any lengths to do it. LAUGHT AT THEM. Use ridicule as Alinsky suggested.
Author is cute - reminds me of the parrot on that classic Frasier episode...CUTE BUT STUPID CUTE BUT STUPID
