Oh yes, pumpkin pie is indeed nice. Besides, it's the person that carries the tradition, not the country. Dun see why you can't celebrate other countries holidays.... America celebrates cinco de mayo (Spelling?).


Cheers,

You spelled cinco de mayo correctly, trust me, I would know.

But please, it would be a pity of this thread was locked because someone was stupid enough to post the history of thanksgiving, BAM, padlocked.

@DrewG - What is your problem? You are just spurring this debate by saying don't bring it up. If you don't want it brought up, then don't bring it up yourself

Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans. Ours was last month. Get fat on gravy and have nice turkey comas

I'm not sure about everyone else, but my family doesn't eat a large meal on Christmas, just Thanksgiving.

Not really.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! My mom always makes these chocolate peanut butter things, so I'm looking forward to those .

That's not as bad as you think you said.

That's still only 34% so not most, and its not how much we're (or they 're) eating, just what is being eaten.

true enough but I am pretty sure the numbers are over 50% as that article is 5 years old...

EDIT:
Quote: "Approximately 119 million Americans, or 64.5 percent, of adult Americans are either overweight or obese. Estimates of the number of obese American adults rose from 23.7 percent in 2003 to 24.5 percent in 2004. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services set a national goal of reducing obesity in adults to 15 percent or less of the population in states by the year 2010."


Overweight + Obese = 64.5%

@ Jeku

I was just warning people in advance not to bring up anything of the sort, so in case someone forgot what the AUP has to say about this. No need to get so tensed up so easily.

I thought Thanks Giving was about the native Americans and Pilgrims (European Immigrants) getting on together without killing each other.

We were done eating prolly about 1 hr and a half ago. The works, turkey, stuffing, green beans, corn, salad, rolls, etc.. That reminds me, I would bake a pie right now but I'm too full to want any. And I'm sure everyone else in my family is full as well. Which is another thing I'm thankful for.
