These Books Will Change How You Think About Chickens, Turkeys, Thanksgiving, and the Holocaust
More Than a Meal: The Turkey in History, Myth, Ritual, and Reality published by Lantern Books
“Karen Davis has done first-rate investigative reporting to chase down the origins of myths about turkeys, and the origins of turkeys themselves. Her writing is passionate.” – Merritt Clifton, Editor of Animal People
“More Than a Meal is an excellent account of the history of hunting, farming, and killing of the turkey and a penetrating examination of the culture of Thanksgiving, in which the turkey plays a central and demeaning role.” – Dr. Lesley Rogers, Professor of Neuroscience and Animal Behaviour, University of New England, Australia
“In a very scholarly way, Karen Davis explores the unnatural history of the turkey. What happened between the turkey being taken to Europe and then reintroduced to North America? Why is the turkey called ‘turkey’?” – Dr. Ian Duncan, Professor of Poultry Ethology, University of Guelph, Ontario
“Karen Davis shines a new light on the unfortunate, much-maligned bird that is the center of America’s Thanksgiving ritual.” – Peter Singer, DeCamp Professor of Bioethics, Princeton University, author of Animal Liberation.
