Thanksgiving


Writing my book “Thanksgiving: The True Story” prompted me to think about how to connect Thanksgiving Day to the world outside my dining room table. One way, I concluded in my book, is to ask questions around 4 topics: the food on our table, thankfulness, activities, and wider community.  Here is the first topic: “Questions about the food on our table. Where does our food come from? How will climate change affect our food supply? How can we make sure agriculture is sustainable? What can we do about poverty and hunger here and around the world?”  Please feel free to add your own questions, answers, topics, etc.   Before Thanksgiving, I’ll post the other questions, plus tell you the story about the Mother of Thanksgiving.  p.s. The turkeys on the book cover are eating their Thanksgiving dinner at a Farm Sanctuary.
