Once again, as an annual reminder for this time of the year, when you get ready to sit down to your big, Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings, you might want to remember that old saying: “You are what you eat.”
So:
Think twice before you eat all that turkey, or
Think twice before you eat all that ham, or
Think twice before you eat all that chicken.
Don’t say that you were not forewarned.
But no matter, where you eat or who you eat with or what you eat, be sure to enjoy yourself to the fullest.
Happy Thanksgiving!
