Here Are Literally 50 Main Dishes You Can Eat Instead of Turkey This Thanksgiving

For the Thanksgiving holiday alone in the US, more than 45 million sensitive, smart turkeys that have been intentionally and sadistically bred for disabled, painful and short lifespans will be killed for meals in households across the country.
