Alicia Silverstone, Mayim Bialik Among Stars Going Turkey-Free This Thanksgiving

Celebrities such as Mayim Bialik, Jane Lynch, and Alicia Silverstone are pledging to go turkey-free this Thanksgiving in support of Farm Sanctuary's Adopt a Turkey Project. The stars hope to raise awareness about the cruelty faced by turkeys in the industrial food system, where they are treated as products and endure abuse. The celebrities are joining a long list of A-listers who have endorsed the cause in previous years, showing their commitment to a fair and sustainable food system that considers the welfare of animals, workers, communities, and the planet.

In addition to symbolically adopting a turkey through Farm Sanctuary's Adopt a Turkey Project, there are various ways to enjoy a Thanksgiving feast without eating turkey. Some celebrities, like Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian, are endorsing a vegan Thanksgiving dinner as a compassionate alternative. With the recent resurgence of bird flu impacting commercial poultry farms, the celebrities hope to bring attention to the mistreatment of turkeys and advocate for a more ethical approach to the holiday meal.
