American Thanksgiving: Please don't pass the turducken

[Guest guest]

Every year at Thanksgiving, my family is reminded of an ancient, dark secret. For the past four years, I've been a vegetarian. It always goes something like this. Family: "Here, Johnathan, you must try some of this Turducken-VealApe." Me: "Thanks, but I try not to eat things whose combined IQs exceed my own." Family: "Well in that case, have a single teaspoon of the mashed potatoes." Ouch. Thanks, based-on-a-true-story family. Really, though, I spend a lot of my Thanksgiving answering questions about what exactly is wrong with my brain that I don't eat meat. [The author gives his tongue-in-cheek answers to those Frequently Asked Questions.]
