"Veggies For Fun and Profit?" Indeed! Current studies show "Although scientists don't know exactly how soy affects breast cancer risk, animal models suggest that a soy component -- isoflavones -- may have protective, estrogen-like effects.". Vegetarians usually eat a variety of soy products. In contrast, "...there is an association between red meat and other cancers, such colorectal cancer. So, she concurs with the American Cancer Society’s dietary recommendations to shun red meat. 'We recommend that people limit their consumption of processed and red meat, and eat fruits and vegetables and unrefined grains,' Calle said." Not only that, "Eating vegetables seems to slow MENTAL DECLINE, a new study shows." Well, that certainly seems profitable to me! But you say this doesn't have much to do with Thanksgiving, and could fit any meal? Okay, I have a more standard 'seasonal' illustration: |

| Too general? Yes, the 'Fall Harvest' mandala does fit several Fall holidays, including Halloween. Okay, I have a piece to share that is more exactly about Thanksgiving. I did not create this cartoon, our late Laura Lansberry did. It is Thanksgiving as seen from the ghost of the TURKEY: |

INDIAN BRAVE: "O' Great Spirit of the Turkey, we thank you for the gift of your life and as we consume your flesh we beg your forgiveness! We are humbly grateful!" INDIAN LASS: "Yeah, yeah! Thanks Turkey! Now, LET'S EAT!!!" 
"Thanking me for the gift of my life!? Gift!? What gift? You MURDERED ME!!! Now you want me to forgive you? NO WAY! I hope you get food poisoning! I HATE YOU!!!" |

So the turkeys aren't very happy about Thanksgiving? Make a turkey happy, eat more veggies!!! And as we've learned, since veggies are so beneficial, make yourself happy!
