Meatless Mouthful: Bill Maher On Presidential Turkey Pardoning
Written by Vegetarian Star on October 21st, 2008 in Comedians, Meatless Mouthful, TV Hosts.
“I ask you to do what I’m going to do and pardon a turkey this Thanksgiving. It’s not hard. Just eat something else (ideas here and here). Not someone else, because it doesn’t seem fair to spare a turkey and roast a hunk of pig or cow instead. If we can bow our heads in gratitude for our families, our friends and our big screen TVs, and then carve into a creature who lived a miserable life and died a horrible death, then our ethics are about as sensible as Britney’s parenting skills.”
—-Bill Maher, in an article that appeared in the Huffington Post last Thanksgiving season, asking President George W. Bush to pardon all turkeys. November’s just around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about what Tofurky, Seitan Turkey, or maybe even vegan mac and cheese (if you’re a college student not going home for the holidays) you’ll be enjoying this Holiday. Whatever meatless faux bird you choose, feel good in knowing that you’re giving turkeys across the nation a reason to be thankful.
