I thought you guys would like to see this. I was reading a local news site, and came along this editorial in the letter's to the publisher section.

"Top 10 Reasons To Skip The Turkey

10. You will pardon a turkey -- just like President Bush, but for the right reasons.

9. You'll celebrate life and good fortune, rather than death and misfortune.

8. You won't suffer nightmares about how the turkey lived and died.

7. You won't have to call the Poultry Hotline to keep your family alive.

6. You won't have to sweat the saturated fat and cholesterol.

5. Your vegetarian friends will adore you.

4. Your kids will tell their friends about their cool "tofurky."

3. You won't fall asleep during the football game.

2. You are what you eat. Who wants to be a "butterball"?

1. Commercial turkeys are too fat to have sex. Could happen to you.

This Thanksgiving, let's give thanks for our good fortune, health, and happiness with a life-affirming, cruelty-free feast of vegetables, fruits and grains. My family's Thanksgiving dinner menu will include a "tofurky," lentil roast, mashed potatoes, corn stuffing, stuffed squash, chestnut soup, candied yams, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and perhaps even a carrot cake.

An Internet search on Vegetarian Thanksgiving got us more recipes and other useful information than we could use.

So, being the witty person I am, I thought I would write a little counter-editorial. So, here's what I responded to Mr. Tatta:

"Top 10 Reasons To Eat A Turkey

After I read a letter in this month's letter section talking about how we should save a turkey's life and go vegetarian, I thought I would write up reasons why we should eat turkey:

10. Eating turkey keeps the far-left PETA nut-jobs from coming near you.

9. It accomplishes what the Bible instructs us to do, to rule the earth, and enjoy what God has given us, as we are not part of any "mother earth." Remember, Father God created "Mother Earth."

8. It is low in fat without the skin.

7. It makes PETA mad.

6. They're fun to shoot and clean, and promote outdoor sportsmanship.

5. Eating a turkey and a traditional Thanksgiving dinner promotes family values

4. Did I mention it makes PETA mad?

3. Turkey is a natural source of protein.

2. Turkey evokes images of celebration, family, and friends.

And for the number one reason why we should eat turkey...

1. Turkey have no capable way of having feelings, or souls! God created us, not monkeys, dolphins, turkey, or any other animals, to have souls.

So, when some are sitting down eating their vegetarian dinners and feeling goody-goody about themselves, I'm thanking God for the bountiful harvest, and yes, eating turkey.

Happy Thanksgiving!
