Happy Thanksgiving and Special Thanks to the U.S from Israel

[Gil Ben-Meir]

I just came a cross a suprising piece of information that I am sure will leave you all speechless:

according to the November 2007 issue of National Geographic Israelies are the world top turkey eaters. with over 34 pounds per capita, Israel surpass the U.S by more than 100% and they don't even have Thanksgiving!

The Turkey, a native American bird which was proposed by Ben Franklin to be the national bird, was imported to Israel in the 1950's and quickly became an economic alternative to the more expensive red meat and the non kosher pig meat.

here is the complete list of Turkey pounds per capita:

1.Israel 34.6

2.Slovakia 31.3

3.U.S.A 16.1

4.France 13.7

5.Hungary 12.8

6.Grenada 12.1

7.Dominica, Ireland, Samoa 11.2

I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving and may we continue working towards preserving the land the way native Americans did.
