the way it was explained to me in the unorthodox public school system was because when the pilgrims came, they saw turkeys upon arriving.
Christopher Colombus would have the natives do "favors" which then turned into "do it, or die." scenarios. mostly including turkey. Then on the third Thursday of November its rumored that they pilgrims invited these natives to eat with them, and what was prepared was (you guessed it) another turkey.So it became tradition through blood,threats and violence to eat a turkey in honor of an evil man who "discovered" this "untouched" Land, and then tortured the natives of this land until they did what he wanted.
We're supposed to be Thankful for what we have in this world, without people acknowledging the fact that This holiday is tainted with the blood of the Native Americans, who were told " to Be thankful for the discovery of this land"
