WaPo hot take examines the 'climate impact' of your Thanksgiving meal

The holiday season is just about upon us again, and that means many in the media will be observing these traditions by asking themselves one question: “How can we try and ruin it for everybody?”

Now that there’s a Democrat in the White House I’m expecting to see a little less of the “how to deal with your Trump or DeSantis-loving, knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing Republican uncle” pieces (though there will certainly be a few) and more attempts at meal-shaming all of us over — you guessed it — climate change. The media’s already on it.

As we approach Thanksgiving week a Washington Post food writer has examined the “climate impact” of your Thursday feast so you don’t have to:

Seriously?

Yes, seriously:

The “good news” is that the conclusion is that Thanksgiving is one of the more climate-friendly traditional holidays, unlike the burger-geddon that is the 4th of July.

I know, I know, nobody wants to put “climate” and “Thanksgiving” in the same sentence. Tallying the environmental impact of a holiday feast doesn’t seem like it’s in the spirit of the thing. It’s a holiday! It’s a day when we suspend our ordinary habits and set aside our prudence to spend an entire day eating, drinking and making merry — or at least watching football. And, oh yeah, giving thanks.

But I’m here to tell you that the news is good. The mainstays of the meal are poultry and plants, which make Thanksgiving a much more climate-friendly holiday than, say, the burgerfest that is the Fourth of July. In fact, the only holiday I can think of with a more pro-environment menu is Yom Kippur.

Do they know what actually surprises everybody the most about Thanksgiving dinner? Not the “climate impact,” but the financial impact!

What would we do without the media?

That reminds me, do you all remember when The Atlantic reported that even a “minor nuclear skirmish” could prove disastrous for climate change? They most likely feel the same way about your holiday dinners.
