Why is it that every news organization feels compelled to run an article every year admonishing us for our Thanksgiving eating habits? Yes, we have a weight problem in this country, but it's not because of a single meal on Thanksgiving.

If you want to lecture people about the evils of those 10,000 extra calories, maybe it would be more effective to cut out 25/day all year long.

Stop it! Let us enjoy our turkey.

I ate ALL the stuffing today. It was supposed to be a practice run. I’m not looking at the calories. Not today.

I ate extra helpings of everything, cleaned my plate and feel like a bloated tick.

Not sure how it works, but I helped a half dozen children starving in China.

Why is it that it's always the China kids that we're helping? When is it gonna be the Venezuelan kids' turn?

It was India when I was a kid. Then Ethiopia. I think North Korea may be in the running this year.

The NK defector that was shot 5 times went to the SK hospital (they carted him there). His intestines were full of parasites. He was probably getting enough nutrition, it was just his pet worms were eating it all. If Rocket Man would spend some time and money on medicine, he would have the funds to continue his experimets and have a healthy military too.

Yeah. Small world, eh?

I guess I'm older than y'all. It was immediately after WW-2 that my bubbe admonished me about all the starving boys and girls in Europe.
