Happy Thanksgiving! Did you know that turkeys can reproduce asexually? That utterly and completely blows my mind.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

And commercially farmed turkeys can’t reproduce naturally at all. Some lucky guy gets to collect turkey sperm and inseminate the females, because the birds are bred to be so huge that they are incapable of doing it the old fashioned way. Not sure if the reference is in “Fast Food Nation” or “The Ethics of What We Eat”. Probably not something you want to read before Thanksgiving. Sorry.
Eh, we were planning on having chicken. 🙂
eww
