It’s slowly approaching that time of the year again where Americans need to have a special holiday every few weeks or so. First up in that list is Thanksgiving, a holiday that revolves around quite literally being thankful for what you have. It’s a sentiment more people should embrace, and certainly a message I can get behind. But are we celebrating it the right way?
The biggest thing with Thanksgiving is the huge meals. Since the very first Thanksgiving goes back to all the way in 1621 and it was tied to the first successful harvest in the “New World” as they called it back then, having copious amounts of food kind of makes sense. So far, so good. No use celebrating a harvest if you can’t eat yourself cross-eyed, right?
