Note to "Green Guide" -- For next Thanksgiving why not include information about non-turkey dinners? I know Thanksgiving has evolved into a significant family holiday but the underlying realities consist of a national slaughter of millions of turkeys and a national obsession with gluttony that is encouraged and applauded as part of "family values" and "the American way."
In the same way that Christmas exists primarily as a commercial observance of consumerism, Thanksgiving is a commercial observance of gluttony and denial of history.
Especially in light of the profound challenges our society faces now, why not encourage alternative ways, more questioning and aware, of looking at these customary holidays? Thank you.
