GIVE THANKS…

…and jog around the block a few times. My SmartMoney.com colleage Jonathan Hoenig:

The average American will consume 3,000 calories and 229 grams of fat this Thanksgiving, according to the American Council on Exercise.

And while I don’t advocate an unhealthy lifestyle, a little gluttony and overindulgence on Thanksgiving has become simply part of the celebration. It’s a truly American holiday, one that celebrates not a mystical god or military victory, but abundance and success. Consider the average American will take in more calories in one meal than those in socialist wastelands like Cuba or North Korea will eat over a number of days. I happen to believe that’s something we can be proud of.

Of course, many are suffering, even here at home, a reality compounded

by a slowing economy and weak stock market. And without denying anybody’s hardship, you’ve got to admit that, if you’re going to be poor and suffering anywhere in the world, modern-day America is just about as good as a place and time as any.
