1. Monsanto -- Crops
   Major transnational corporations in the food and life sciences sector are unlikely to shed any tears over Monsanto's demise. It's no secret on Wall Street that Monsanto, in its present form, has become a major liability for transnational food corporations and the biotech/pharmaceutical giants, who are much more concerned with the potential for hundreds of billions of dollars in sales from biotech drugs, nutraceutical foods, and nanotechnology, than the declining fortunes of agbiotech crops, whose total sales in 2002 were $4.25 billion.
2. Monsanto -- United States
   Monsanto refused to attend the 4/26/99 hearing on rBGH in Canada. Mute testimony to their fear of direct contact with Dr. Bill von Meyer. Dr. von Meyer is a scientist who conducts genetic and biological research. He has conducted millions of dollars of health studies on chemical residues found in foods and reviewed the toxicity profile of dozens of chemicals prior to their manufacture and development. Monsanto formerly used the statements by the American Medical Association on rBGH with Senators and Congress and against Dr. von Meyer's review. The public should know that the officials at the AMA who endorsed rBGH were subsequently fired for cause.
3. Thanksgiving -- Turkeys
   Thanksgiving Day in America is a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and holiday meals. A time of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. A time for Indian corn, holiday parades and giant balloons
4. Thanksgiving Traditions -- Turkeys
   The traditions of thanksgiving are closely related to the autumn harvest celebrations. The first autumn harvest was held in 1621 as the pilgrims shared it with the Native Americans as they had taught the colonists to plant crops. Without the help of the Native Americans the Pilgrims couldn’t have survived the harsh winter climate. Along with the different vegetables and fruits turkey was ... a part of the pilgrim food. However unlike modern thanksgiving dinner pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, corn and mashed potatoes were not served during thanksgiving. Desserts were also not a part of the traditional autumn harvest.
5. Pilgrims at Plymouth Colony -- Massachusetts Bay
   In the fall of 1621, the Pilgrims at Plymouth Colony celebrated the autumn harvest with a three-day feast. They had arrived in Massachusetts the year before. After the first harsh winter, they turned for help to neighboring Indians, who taught them how to plant corn and other crops and cook local foods. The next fall's bountiful harvest inspired the Pilgrims to invite members of the local Wampanoag tribe to a celebration to thank the Indians for teaching them how to live in the New World.

8. Thanksgiving -- Thanksgiving Feast
   The first recorded observance of Thanksgiving in America was a religious occasion that did not include the feast now associated with the holiday. On December 4, 1619, a small group of English settlers arrived at Berkeley Plantation on the James River in Virginia. In accordance with their charter, the group observed this day by giving thanks to God.
9. Vegetables
   Vegetables are a main staple in the diet of almost everyone on the planet. When fresh, they commonly consist of more than 70 percent water, but contain many nutrients and are rich in a class of biochemicals that are thought to have anti-cancer activity, the phytochemicals. Over 200 types of vegetables have been categorized around the world, with about 75 types growing throughout the United States, where over 50 types are grown commercially. Though chiefly utilized as food for humans and farm animals, some vegetables are ... used for other applications, including the production of vegetable oils, starch, alcohol, and fibers.
10. Ice Cream Recipes -- Flavors
    Ice cream in its modern form is a relatively new invention. Ice treats have been enjoyed since ancient times. During the 5th century BC, ancient Greeks ate snow mixed with honey and fruit in the markets of Athens. The father of modern medicine, Hippocrates, encouraged his ancient Greek patients to eat ice "as it livens the lifejuices and increases the well-being."[20] In the 4th century BC, it was well known that a favorite treat of Alexander the Great was snow ice mixed with honey and nectar.[21] In modern times Greek ice cream recipes have some unique flavors such as Pagoto Kaimaki, (Greek: Παγωτό Καϊμάκι), made from mastic-resin which gives it an almost chewy texture, and salepi, used as a thickening agent to increase resistance to melting; both give the ice cream a unique taste; Olive Oil Ice Cream with figs; Pagoto Kataifi Chocolate, (Greek: Παγωτό Καταΐφι-κακάο), made from the shredded filo dough pastry that resembles angel's hair pasta or vermicelli; and Mavrodaphne Ice Cream, (Greek: Μαυροδάφνη Παγωτό), made from a Greek dessert wine. Fruity Greek Sweets of the Spoon are usually served as toppings with Greek-inspired ice cream flavors.
