Perhaps it's intentional...or maybe not. It wouldn't surprise me if it were just another insidious plan by the current administration to destroy yet another American tradition. Shrink the turkeys too, along with all our constitutional rights, important government programs, environmental protections, healthcare, veterans benefits, etc, etc, etc.
As an aside, this portion of turkey would definitely not satisfy my appetite. This Founding Father is at risk of losing his famous over-endowed mid-section!
Your humble servant,
B. Franklin
