Well done, Bobbi!
Nice healthy thoughts in this piece.
super!
Your poem is super! I just wrote my first haiku and enjoyed trying to fit words into the format. Good luck!
Awesome. I like turkeys too much to eat them at all, and I'm happy to see another AC writer humorously advocating humane, sustainable practices.

Thumbs up, Bobbi!
