Description
Consider the Turkey by Peter Singer - A Critical Look at the Holiday Tradition A turkey is often the centerpiece of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, but how much do we really know about these birds? In this concise book, bestselling author Peter Singer tells their story, revealing a less-than-ideal reality. He explores the history of the turkey's consumption, pokes fun at the annual US presidential "pardon" of a Thanksgiving turkey, and introduces readers to Cornelius, a remarkable bird. Singer argues that our traditional holiday feasts can be improved by liberating ourselves from the need for turkey. Instead, he suggests considering vegetarian alternatives or serving side dishes that are already enjoyed more than turkey. The book includes delicious recipes for turkey-free holiday feasting, making it an ideal choice for those looking to rethink their holiday traditions. By examining the turkey's story and its impact on our lives, Consider the Turkey offers a thought-provoking exploration of food, ethics, and sustainability.
