From Drover alert

One million tofurkies
This Thanksgiving, Turtle Island Foods sold its millionth tofurky, the vegetarian "turkey" it introduced in 1995. The tofurky has experienced a 63.5 percent growth rate since 2000; the company expects to see $10 million in sales in 2006. This year, the entire category of meat substitutes reached $1.38 billion in retail sales. For more on the company's meat-substitute products, go to http://www.tofurky.com.
As we sat down for Thanksgiving dinner, my family, like others around the country, reflected on the many things for which we are thankful. Among them was the fact that we were not eating a turkey made of soybean curd. — J.M.

If someone doesn't want to eat turkey, fine. But I don't see the point in eating crap and pretending it's turkey or anything else.

Haven't seen any tofu turkeys at the local grocers. I don't think they'd go over well here at all. Be good for the Brazilian bean farmers though if they did. Bad for the North Carolina turkey growers and all their hired help. And the turkey feed people and all their hired help, and...

Wonder where all these tofu turkeys are being sold?

If my life escalates to the point that I want to eat tofu, would all board members proceed to Missouri and beat me to death with a frozen turkey?? :lol: Boone

You might be "metrosexual" if:

1. You just can't walk past a Banana Republic store without making a purchase.

2. You own 20 pairs of shoes, half a dozen pairs of sunglasses, just as many watches and you carry a man-purse.

3. You see a stylist instead of a barber, because barbers don't do highlights.

4. You can make her lamb shanks and risotto for dinner and Eggs Benedict for breakfast... all from scratch.

5. You only wear Calvin Klein boxer-briefs.

6. You shave more than just your face. You also exfoliate and moisturize.

7. You would never, ever own a pickup truck.

8. You can't imagine a day without hair styling products.

9. You'd rather drink wine than beer... but you'll find out what estate and vintage first.

10. Despite being flattered (even proud) that gay guys hit on you, you still find the thought of actually getting intimate with another man truly repulsive.

"Some people think he's gay, but he's actually metrosexual."

James Bond is very metro in a lot of ways. He aint no sissy but he has excellent taste.

I went with a gal that was one of those Tofu types that lived in Tuscon. Dinner at a local steak house put an end to that. It was going pretty good for a while. She just ordered a baked potato, beans and corn bread.

Then she found the slice of bacon in her beans.Z

Those Metroes might as well come on out of the closet.

A million in 11 yrs. Not exactly the fast lane. And I bet every family that bought one of those things to appease the grandchild going to Berkley also bought a real turkey or ham.
