What's in Your Turkey?

I never really understood why the turkey companies decided it would be a good idea to cut off the turkey's neck and shove it back in the turkey's body through an orifice that needs not to be named. Who does that help? It's sort of debasing to the turkey, and that means that the turkey consumer has to reach his/her hand into the body of his/her soon to be meal, simply to pull out what never belonged inside in the first place and, furthermore, could simply have been discarded by the folks at Butterball. And need I mention the giblets?

Thanksgiving is a confusing time.
