Thanksgiving Dinner Description
Description Thanksgiving dinner is the meal where you cook for 10 hours and eat for 10 minutes. When one goes through the day not eating anything because they fear it might ruin their appetite. Every room in the house is intoxicated with this sensationally delicious thanksgiving aroma. When dinner is called my famine family sounds like a pack of hungry elephants running for their prey. Once we finally reach the designated area of the food, we stand around it like planets orbiting the sun. Admiring the turkeys crispy skin shimmer in the light, the mountains of mashed potatoes, the richly colored brown gravy, and that one dish grandma brings but no one ever eats. The dessert is the only thing better than the main course. The orange pumpkin

    Janie Kiester Mini Ethnography on Amish Dinner Instructor, Michelle Stone, PhD Amish/Mennonite Information: Today there are over 12 different Amish and Mennonite groups in the Shipshawana area. They do not permit electricity or telephones in their homes. By restricting access to television, radio, and telephones, the Amish feel they are better able to keep the modern world from intruding into their home life. The Amish have long preferred farming as a way of life. They feel their lifestyle and their families can best be maintained in a rural environment. While they do not permit the use of tractors in their fields, these traditional Amish groups do use modern farm equipment pulled by teams of horses or mules. These traditional Amish groups…

    Show Them How To Have Courage Stereotypes rule today’s society and they determine how we walk, talk and go about our everyday lives. You cannot go through an entire day without being exposed to some sort of stereotype, forcing people to make a daily decision. Do you just accept stereotypes or attempt to break away from them? Everyone is aware that making judgments about people before you know them is morally wrong, yet many people struggle to avoid doing just this. It is easier to just follow the crowd and conform to popular beliefs than take the time to realize that most of these assumptions about people are not true.…

    Well, if I have to select between Thanksgiving and Christmas as my favorite festival, I will definitely choose Thanksgiving over Christmas, because we can eat turkeys and pumpkin pie in that time. I enjoy turkeys; however, it is equally important to maintain the health and stay far away from any health issues. Everyone loves Thanksgiving and everyone enjoys eating, we love to eat with our friends and family. However, people from any background and situations celebrate it in their own way; for example, a vegan may demand Asparagus salad, whereas a foodie may desire sugary spice pecans. What my point is, despite having various choices of food, health should be the utmost priority.…

    Thanksgiving is considered by many as being the worse meal of the year. Why? Because of the extreme overload of high-starch carbs that trigger blood sugar spikes for so many people. Just think of it. Pumpkin pie with a scoop or two of ice cream, corn bread stuffing, mashed potatoes, sugar-laden cranberry sauce and green bean casserole, that's why.…

    You're thrown down hard onto an old rotten stump, dazed you look up and see a shiny object hurtling down towards your head then, *thwack* and the world suddenly turns dark. This is the life for millions of turkeys on Thanksgiving. Every Thanksgiving forty-five million turkeys are mercilessly slaughtered and that's only on one day and twenty-two million turkeys are killed on Christmas. Turkeys shouldn’t be slaughtered on Thanksgiving or any other time really because even though eating turkey gives you necessary nutrients turkeys also speed up the timeline for meeting death and causes health problems. Turkeys are treated cruelly and are mutilated because turkeys are not protected by any laws saying they can’t be abused or hurt. Finally lots of turkey farmers inject turkeys with growth hormones, in order to stunt their growth so they can make more money off of them.…

    I didn’t experience my first Thanksgiving until I was 10 years old. For millions of Americans, Thanksgiving is a day for feasting on immense portions of food, watching football, and napping on the couch. However, for most of my life, it was just an ordinary day like any other, in which I was allowed to miss school, play games, and even watch some TV. It wasn’t because I didn’t know about Thanksgiving.…
