F*** your Turducken

Pardon my language. I get very upset at mass consumption. You all know that I'm going vegan, but even if I weren't, I would still hate the turducken. There are food and water shortages all over the world, you know? People are starving to death daily. Do you really need to consume mass quantities of food like some high power garbage disposal? Do you really need to kill several animals for one meal? F*** those turduckens!

They're such a slap in the face to those who have nothing. So are the ridiculous food orgies we always have for every holiday we invent. They make us look just as bad as those corporate jerks who get subsidies for being job creators while they pay their employees so little they have to rely on government assistance. When did it become OK to flaunt your abundant wealth in such an indiscriminate manner?

And yes, even though you may not consider yourself wealthy, when was the last time you drank dirty, disease infested water just because that's all there was? Never? That's what I thought. So, f*** your turducken and that stupid pie/cake thingamajig as well. Get a grip on your gluttony.

Overeating is bad for you. It's bad for the planet. It's bad for the animals that die to feed you. It's just plain bad. Plus, it's probably the most inconsiderate behavior you could engage in while there are little children dying of hunger every single second of the day. Ya, every second.

Why not take that money you were going to spend on stuffing your face to capacity and beyond and use it to help someone in need. Have a simple meal and be truly thankful for what you have. Don't just give it lip service or joke about your expanding waistline. You'll feel better and who knows? You might just save a life in the process.
