FoodPolitik: The Food Grinches Who Want to Steal Thanksgiving

By Rick Berman, The Daily Caller

It’s Thanksgiving time again, so we can count on a few things: Bad traffic, awful airports, the vast majority of Americans enjoying the holiday and stuffing themselves, and a small but vocal cabal of malcontents trying to ruin it for everyone else.

Let’s start with everybody’s least favorite: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Once again PETA is pushing an outrageous message for Turkey Day, targeting children with billboards that imply gobbling up turkey is like eating a pet dog. Apparently, these clowns haven’t figured out that animals are bred for different purposes — turkeys to be eaten and dogs to be companions. (Maybe there’s a new “apples and oranges” phrase worth coining.)
