Ms. Holcomb's Intro:
Thanksgiving. The ultimate food fest. This is the only time of year where it is absolutely acceptable to eat triple your normal daily calorie intake. Juicy turkey, rolls like pillows, and thick gravy to smother it all. But while your mom is stuffing the turkey (while complaining no one ever helps) and your stuffing your face, your body is undergoing a complicated process to help you gather all the delicious tryptophan from that bird. While it seems like all you do on Thanksgiving is eat, watch football, and eat some more, your body is actually doing a lot of hard work to digest that bird; it all begins with that first bite.
Ms. Holcomb's Conclusion:
And like that, the process is over and Thanksgiving dinner is at an end. The rolls have cooled. The gravy has coagulated. The turkey has endured a rather fowl journey through the intestines. The only thing left to do is watch football while your mom cleans up the mess while complaining that nobody ever helps.
