Explanation:
[STC004177] If the centerpiece of your Thanksgiving meal is a turkey, you are not alone; around 45 million other people observe the same tradition. Around that number of turkeys are purchased for Thanksgiving dinner in the United States each year. The Department of Agriculture of the United States estimates that this accounts for more than 18% of the 244.5 million turkeys that are grown each year. The vast majority of turkeys are farmed on farms in the states of Arkansas, North Carolina, and Minnesota. Christmas is the second most popular day for dining on turkey, and 22 million are devoured on that day alone. Easter comes in as number three with 19 million people attending. While it’s a well-loved fall protein, turkey still lags in overall popularity compared to chicken, beef, and pork.
