91% and the Grand Tradition

I read somewhere that 91% of Americans eat turkey on Thanksgiving.  And then someone told me about the pork tenderloin she was all excited to make for her Thanksgiving feast.  Someone else mentioned their "Thanksgiving Salmon" -- as if everyone had a Thanksgiving Salmon.  And I thought about my own turkey-less Thanksgiving dinner.  But regardless of the main protein source of the dinner, each of us was preparing for a grander than normal meal at our house or elsewhere.  So even if it's really not 91% of America sitting down to a turkey, if it's 91% of America sitting down to reflect on all they have to be thankful for -- what a grand tradition Thanksgiving is.
