Your corn is sweeter, your potatoes are starchier and your turkey is much, much bigger than the foods that sat on your grandparents' Thanksgiving dinner table.
Most everything on your plate has undergone tremendous genetic change under the intense selective pressures of industrial farming. Pilgrims and American Indians ate foods called corn and turkey, but the actual organisms they consumed didn't look or taste much at all like our modern variants do.
I didn't realize how many things we control up until now.

Not only are traditional foods bigger and sweeter, we've also got all sorts of weird meatless non-turkey turkey options out there as well. I don't understand the point of non-turkey turkey. If you don't want to eat turkey, then don't. Don't make some weird impostor food.
