    Thanksgiving Day can be a difficult time for a vegetarian, considering that the day revolves around a big turkey feast.  But you don't have to feel left out.  A great option to consider is Tofurky!

    Tofurky is the brand name of a mock turkey product that is a vegetarian alternative to turkey.  It's one of many mock turkey products in the market, but definitely the best known, partly due to the attention it has recieved in TV sitcoms.  But it's actually not that bad, especially if you haven't eaten real turkey in a long time.

    This morning while looking up recipes for up-coming Thanksgiving Day, I stumbled upon a really scary website.  You know how the internet is, you start out with one thing and before you know it....well, I found some religious, militant vegetarian-haters. What's most disturbing is that this group called Bible Life Ministries, is using the "Good Book" to preach for their radical, pro-carnivore lifestyle.

    What's really scary is the tone and their weak arguments, which basically state that vegetarianism is some form of brain-washing and that God meant for us to eat meat.

    Read this nugget of hatred:

    "The Bible describes those who recommend abstaining from eating meats as extremely evil. They are teaching doctrines of devils with lies and hypocrisy. The same is said about those who are against marriage."

    Who are these people?

    "The vegan diet wipes out the hormonal system in males. Their testosterone level plunges.

    It's hard to find videos that promote vegtarianism, but that don't show graphic and brutal images of animals being salughtered.  This video is beautiful and simple, and more importantly makes a great point very effectively.
