will never forget the Thanksgiving
dinner she helped serve to 200
street people in New York City. To
her, each Thanksgiving is a special
celebration because “the season is
a beautiful time of the year and her
favorite for weather and
temperature.”

The first thing that comes to Jeff
Burkholder’s mind when he thinks
of Thanksgiving is “Indians and
Pilgrims getting together to thank
almighty God for the blessings he
bestowed on them.” Added Jeff,
“Personally it’s a time to think of
all the blessings God provides for
me with life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. I’m grateful God
allowed me to live In Lancaster
County.”
Employing more than 150,000
people and commanding six per
cent of the nation’s total food
expenditures, America’s poultry
industry is truly a mahor agribusi
ness today. According to the
National Broiler Council, the
industry, in the course of growing
and processing poultry products,
spends $l2 billion annually for a
wide range of products and ser
vices, ranging from com to elec
tronic media. Economists say the
“multiple effect” expands that
expenditure four to five times as
the dollars ripple through the
economy.
During the last four decades,
consumers have increased their
consumption of chicken more than
eight-fold, from seven pounds per

Her most outstanding Thanks
giving Day happened 14 years ago
when a car accident inadvertedly
spurred a friendship. “We invited
the couple who hit our car for
Thanksgiving dinner,” Miriam
recalls, “and we had so much fun
comparing our cultures and getting
to know each other.” Miriam and
her husband are Mennonites; the
other couple is Jewish. They con
tinue the friendship today.

capita in 1949 to 67 pounds in
1989. By 1990 it is estimated that
Americans will be eating an aver
age of 72 pounds of chicken each,
surpassing the consumption of
both beef and pork for the first
time.
The National Broiler Council
estimates that 58 percent of all
chicken produced in 1989 will
reach the consumer through retail
grocery stores. This compares to
70 percent in 1981. Big gainers as
chicken outlets are fast food
restaurants. In 1981 they
accounted for 22 percent of chick-
en production, compared to 32
percent estimated for this year.
Other restaurants will use 10 per
cent of chicken produced in 1989,
an increase of two percentage
points over 1981.
