About 12 million Americans will sit down to a turkey-free Thanksgiving this year. And with the health-food industry's ever-increasing popularity, more options than ever are available to those who want to forego the fowl. Why do it? Why give up meat this Turkey Day? Some people disagree with a meatbased diet because of religious or ethical reasons. Others decide to cut out their carnivorous entrees for the environment's sake. However, the largest number of new vegetarians are giving up meat because of the health implications. According to the Vegetarian Research Group, organizations that support a primarily plant-based diet include the National Research Council, the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society. In a statement, the American Dietetic Association said, "Appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, are nutritionally adequate, and provide health benefits in the prevention in treatment of certain diseases." Author John Robbins said the average American eats enough meat in his or her lifetime to sustain a small farm. His statistics show that meateaters will consume the equivalent of celebrate >vember I at tions in class curriculum.

Goins said. "It's a lot of correcting of the re- old history books, and you can't do that l?." in a month " A shared heritage Native American Heritage Month ith might be a celebration of Native Amerby icans, but it's not exclusively for them. Because they've contributed to the development of South Carolina, it's a herh8 itage for everyone in the state. ei"" Some of the Native Americans' con, tributions include foods like corn, cran"f s beny sauce and tomatoes, and names of towns and rivers, such as Santee, l?e Seneca, Pee Dee and Catawba. Facts on ethnic heritage can only be found by researching one's back1 ground, something that Goins thinks an is important, but something that many ov' people don't do. I r "[Many people think that persons . ^ of an ethnic background are] born with all the knowledge of their ethnic community. That's ludicrous," Goins said.
