The History of Why We Spend Money to Eat on Thanksgiving

Have you ever wondered why we eat turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, and our favorite veggie dish for Thanksgiving? The Thanksgiving meal has evolved so much since the early 1900s and become the holiday we associate with eating until we can't eat anymore. In this Friendsgiving episode, I sat down with the amazing Katherine Spiers, host of the Smart Mouth Podcast, to find out the history behind the Thanksgiving meal and got to the bottom of our pumpkin-crazed eating trends. Katherine shares how Thanksgiving has evolved over time, how to make most out of your Thanksgiving on any budget, and the fascinating story behind the year of two Thanksgivings.LinksSmart Mouth PodcastKatherine on InstagramSPONSORSThanks to ShipStation for sponsoring the show.
