I know it's a White House tradition to pardon the ceremonial Thanksgiving turkey, but isn't it a bit hypocritical? I mean on Thanksgiving there is a huge turkey feast served in the White House. Where did that turkey come from? Why was he sacrificed and the big, showy bird gets the pardon?
It is just another reason people today don't understand where their food comes from. Milk from the store and turkey from some mythical place called Honeysuckle. If more people were intimately familiar with how and where their daily sustenance comes from they would be more concerned about our delicate planet.
I have to admit there is a side of me that would like to see the President chop the head off the big bird and invite everyone in for the dinner!
