Why Turkey-Free?

The Standard American Diet, with its dependence on animal products, has been

implicated as a factor in heart disease, breast cancer, strokes, obesity,

colon cancer, diabetes and more.  The agricultural system needed to produce

this same meat-centered diet is also taking an incredible toll on our soil,

our water, and precious natural resources.  In addition, the growth of

factory farms has led to an increase in animal suffering.  The good news is

that the fall harvest brings a bounty of grains, vegetables, and fruits to

enjoy.  EarthSave is encouraging people to participate in the " Turkey-free "

this year and enjoy a plant-based Thanksgiving feast as part of an

educational campaign to inform the public about the total environmental and

health impact of the foods we eat.
