Although I have philosophical reservations about the holiday, my main objection is the food. First, turkey is unquestionably the weakest of the major meats -- the hockey of the sports world. But more annoyingly, Thanksgiving is filled with a cornucopia of dishes that we don't eat on any other day of the year, and there's a reason for this.There is a reason that we confine our consumption of cranberry sauce, plum pudding, yams, asparagus casserole, and giblet gravy to one meal out of 1,000 -- it is intolerable in any greater dose. (Stuffing/dressing is the obvious exception. That shit is off the wishbone). We even do our best to ruin our desserts with bizarre ingredients -- Pumpkin, really? Luckily the rest of the day is traditionally reserved for football and naps, or else I'd boycott the thing entirely.
