1) Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey as our national bird, not the bald eagle.
2) President Abraham Lincoln issued a "Thanksgiving Proclomation" on October 3, 1863
and officially set the last Thursday of November as the national day for Thanksgiving.
3) It is thought that lobster, rabbit, chicken, fish, squashes, beans, hickory nuts, hestnuts,
onions, leeks, dried fruits, maple syrup and honey, radishes, carrots, eggs, and goat
cheese made up the first Thanksgiving feast.
4) In the US, about 280 millions turkeys are sold for Thanksgiving celebrations today.
5) In 1939, President Roosevelt proclaimed that Thanksgiving would take place on
November 23rd, not November 30th, as a way to spur economic growth and extend the
Christmas shopping season.
6) Californians are the largest consumers of turkey in the United States.
7) Commercially raised turkeys cannot fly.
8) Turkeys have heart attacks. The United States Air Force was doing some test runs and
breaking the sound barrier. Nearby turkeys dropped dead with heart attacks.
