Happy Thanksgiving!

Posted by: frets in charts, food & nutrition, holidays, tags: ,

Here are some fun turkey stats, in honor of the meal many of us are having today.  And courtesy of the USDA and the National Turkey Federation (who knew there was such a thing?).  Who knew we ate 18 lbs of turkey per person last year?  Actually, I’m not surprised because I love turkey.  Or that the US raised 271 million turkeys last year, 49 million of which were produced in Minnesota?  Or that about 30% of the turkey we eat is during the holidays?

I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

    Hi nice post, i have come across your site once before when searching for something so i was just wondering something. I love your theme, would it happen to be a free one i can download, or is it a custom one you had made? In a few months i may get my own domain, but i don’t know how to setup themes so i don’t mind paying someone to make me a nice one and set it all up. Do you know any good Wordpress designer companies, thanks for your help. :)

    Thanks! This theme is Mandigo and it is free: http://www.onehertz.com/portfolio/wordpress/. I like it because there are many options you can set like color scheme, # of columns, width, etc. There are some great (mostly pay) theme sites out there, among them: woothemes.com and designshard.com. Let me know what you come up with & thanks for posting.
