Full holiday menu for Obamas, plus 6 pies
Source: AP-Excite
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama spent a quiet Thanksgiving at the White House where the belly-stuffing menu featured all the holiday's basics. He also continued a tradition of telephoning members of the armed forces to thank them for their service.
Obama called members from each of the military services and participated in a conference call with troops in West Africa. A White House summary of the calls said Obama told them their varied missions, from helping to stamp out Ebola to prosecuting the war against Islamic State militants, had one primary objective — keeping the American people safe and secure.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel made similar calls, contacting an Air Force captain in Kuwait, a Marine sergeant in Liberia, an Army lieutenant in Afghanistan, and a Navy petty officer on a ship in the Arabian Gulf. Hagel, who submitted his resignation under pressure from the president earlier this week, thanked the service members for their sacrifices for the nation, the Pentagon said.
On the menu for dinner, there was thyme-roasted turkey and honey-baked ham, cornbread stuffing and oyster stuffing, braised winter greens and macaroni and cheese. Don't forget the green-bean casserole, sweet potato gratin, mashed potatoes and dinner rolls.

TERRIFIC pushback against Robin Roberts' promo for "canned cranberry sauce with the ridges" (and bisphenol in the can lining + gmos).
Two reasons not to get your cranberry sauce out of a can:
It might contain Bisphenol A (Other wise known as BPA), which is a known carcinogen that has been proven to cause birth defects, cancers, and neurological disorders. This substance isn’t banned in the United States but is in Canada. We must speak up by voting with our dollars. We should only support companies that eliminate BPA from their can production so government supported BIG FOOD companies will realize we won’t stand for this toxic junk!
It will most definitely contain too much sugar and probably the worst kind of sugar that is man made, genetically modified and toxic to your body. The majority of canned cranberry products contain GMO sugar beets, GMO high fructose corn syrup, GMO corn syrup, etc. Just check out the label for Ocean Spray Jellied or Sauce (it’s the same for both).
