Tomorrow is the day when America celebrates family and patriotism by eating pound upon pound of dead bird. But did you know that there’s another country that eats more turkey than we do? Unless you’ve read the new issue of National Geographic (or, as I did, this online article that totally cribs it), you will probably not guess which country it is. (Hint: it’s not Turkey.)

At a whopping 34 pounds of turkey a year per capita, the winner is Israel!

Come on Americans, do your part tomorrow. We can be number one if we all set our minds to it.
