Your devotion and passion are inspirational, and I'd bet most of us would

agree with the premise behind it. That said, I believe that celebrating

with a delicious cruelty-free vegan feast makes a highly profound statement,

dispensing as it does, with the turkey and any other animal foods which might

be served. A stuffed squash, or a wonderful nut/grain/legume loaf and

potatoes with gravy, with seasonal vegetables, fruits, salads, side dishes,

vegan pumpkin, pecan and/or apple pies or maybe a delightful tofu chocolate

mousse, for example, send the ultimate message of celebration of life and

gratitude for a good harvest, IMO.

I don't dispute the fact that short-term fasting is definitely a good thing

for those who can tolerate it. In the long term though, keeping a vegan

diet shows reverence our animal buddies *every* day of the year.
