What is "Respect the Bird"


Allrecipes.com is the world’s largest online food community; it is a community of passionate, engaged home cooks who post recipes of every kind.  I have used it as a resource many times.  In November 2010, a grass roots effort was started by Doug Matthews, an Allrecipes.com Supporting Member, called Respect the Bird. Doug wanted to remind people that “Thanksgiving deserves to be more than an afterthought among our national holidays.” Allrecipes.com joined Doug and many others to boost Respect the Bird into national awareness.

Supporters want to create a Thanksgiving experience extending beyond meal planning.
Respect the Bird mission is to restore Thanksgiving to its rightful place as a meaningful, respected American holiday that taps into its original roots of thankfulness, a celebration of friendships, family, and gifts from the earth.  Allrecipes.com is the number one resource for Thanksgiving planning and preparation. 

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? Take time to celebrate your family and friends!
