Thanksgiving Is Wild. Like Bowling.
A whole day focused on a meal. An entire day of your life, spent preparing, eating, and cleaning up for the sake of a single meal. Here is something ridiculous:
- 300 million turkeys are raised per year for consumption. Of those, 45 million (15%) are eaten during Thanksgiving. (Source)
I did a little math using this fact. Think about it like this: If you were to compress 15% of a year's worth of anything into a single day, this is what could happen:
- You could take a 34 lb. shit
- Or fart 766 times
- You could sweat 34 gallons
- Blink 876,000 times
- Consume 8200+ mg of caffeine. (1.5 times the fatal dose)
- Drink 37.64 gallons of water (again, you would die)
Getting the picture? Thanksgiving is completely insane. It's not about giving thanks, its about binging - American style.
