Not only that, maybe spending a day with family and gorging isn't everyone's idea of fun or something that contributes to everyone's physical or mental health. I worked the last 3 Thanksgivings. I didn't mind in the least. Before we work ourselves into an outrage, maybe we should consider if for many people, there is anything to be outraged about.
