This may just be a trend in the great state of Oregon but I've talked to more families cooking fricking tofu turkeys because their teenagers is getting indoctrinated at school. One Dad told me he couldn't look into his daughter's blue eyes and say no. Is this something going on nationwide or is it a NW hippy liberal movement? I just don't know what is normal anymore.

Not sure. My daughter eats peas and squash, and shits in her diaper.

One of my friends who is actually gluten free (he's been allergic since before this fad started) told me that tofu apparently increases estrogen levels in your body. I don't pay attention to such things, but it's a good enough reason for me not to eat something I wouldn't eat anyway. It's something worth looking into regardless if it's on the menu.

Otherwise, kids are probably just trying to find their way by experimenting with ideas. I don't see why you can't let them try it out by giving them some minor options, but it wouldn't stop me from eating turkey tomorrow.

Here's a snopes article on the tofu/soy/estrogen thing. Apparently it's kind of legit but inconclusive.

Why even bother with fake turkey? I'd rather just eat something else.

Id look int her blue eyes and tell her if she doesn't like the food this family cooks, she can go find another or go hungry.

If I demanded my mom do something, she'd smack the shite out of me.

If I demanded my dad do something, he'd kick me out.

If you don't have celiac disease you don't have a problem with gluten.

Kids "demanding" what their parents cook for dinner? What the actual frick? They can eat what is put on the plate in front of them and like it or they can go hungry.

JASON: Melanie!
MELANIE: Hey Jason!
JASON: What's going on?
MELANIE: Not much. I didn't know you were back in LA
JASON: Yeah, yeah. I had a pretty amazing trip. I mean, it was unreal
MELANIE: Really? I can't wait to hear about it
JASON: No, I have a lot to tell you
MELANIE: What is it?
JASON: C'mon. Do you remember the 90's?
MELANIE: Yeah
JASON: Y'know. People were talking about getting piercings and getting tribal tattoos. And people were singing about saving the planet; forming bands?
MELANIE: Yeah
JASON: There's a place where that idea still exists as a reality and I've been there
MELANIE: Where is it?
JASON: Portland
MELANIE: Oregon?
JASON: Yeah

The tattoo ink never runs dry

JASON: Remember when people were content to be unambitious? Sleep to eleven? Just hangout with their friends? You'd have no occupations whatsoever. Maybe you work a couple of hours a week at a coffee shop?
MELANIE: Right. I thought that died out a long time ago
JASON: Not in Portland. Portland is a city where young people go to retire

[Hook]
The Dream of the 90's is alive in Portland
All the hot girls wear glasses (Yeah!)

JASON: Remember the 90's when they'd encourage you to be weird? It was just an amazing time where people would go to see something like the Jim Rose sideshow circus and watch someone hang something from their penis? You could grow up to want to be a clown. People went to clown school!
MELANIE: I gave up clowning years ago
JASON: In Portland, you don't have to

[Hook]
The Dream of the 90's is alive in Portland
Sleep 'til eleven, you'll be in heaven
The Dream of the 90's is alive in Portland
The Dream is alive

MELANIE: So from what I can surmise from what you're positing, it's like Portland's almost an alternative universe. It's like Gore won. The Bush administration never happened
JASON: Exactly
MELANIE: In Portland it's almost like cars don't exist, right? People ride bikes or double-decker bikes. They ride unicycles. They ride the tram. They ride skateboards!

[Hook]
The Dream of the 90's is alive in Portland
My flannel shirt still looks fly
The Dream of the 90's is alive in Portland

JASON: In Portland you can go to a record store and sell your CD's!

[Bridge]
Turn that dirty clown frown right upside down

MELANIE: In Portland you can put a bird on something and just call it art!

[Hook]
The Dream of the 90's is alive in Portland
The Dream of the---

MELANIE: Hey! I made it!
JASON: Yeah, you're a little late
MELANIE: Sorry
JASON: You're also a little San Francisco right now
JASON: Sorry. (proceeds to remove Melanie's various piercings) Much better. Welcome to Portland
MELANIE: Thank you

You think not wanting to support the torture and slaughtering of innocent animals is a "liberal hippy movement"? Sounds like you could take a page out of these kids' book

This no gluten thing will go down as faux bullshite just like the fat scare of the 80's, the carb scare of the 90's, and the everything scare of the 2000's.

Tofu is horrible on your body. Will give you kidney stones.
