Dear "Amused", the article was about family gatherings and common courtesy for famly members with vegan or vegerian preferances. its not about whether or not to celebrate thanksgiving.
If you invited Jewish friends over for thanksgiving would you serve pork? The world is full of hate and so a little respect and consideration for the feelings of others would be helpful. Calling them "idiots" is counter productive and childish.
It seems that meat eaters get very defensive and angry when the subject of corpse eating is brought up.
