Turkey Day calories

Re the Nov. 24 article How many centuries of exercise you’ll need to work off Thanksgiving dinner: Whoever decided to spoil Thanksgiving with the column of how many calories are in each and every food course should be kicked in the pants!

All year, families across the country look forward to this wonderful holiday. This is one day that all people enjoy, regardless of race, religion or ethnicity. Don’t ruin it with calorie-counting.

We have the whole year to annoy ourselves with what not to eat.
