Turkey kinda sucks. It's dry and boring. I'm a spiral ham fan for holidays.

Of all the issues with the meat industry, this seems like a weird thing to have a problem with

Well no it's just one specific issue, and I don't think it's actually an issue with the meat industry in this case.

Like literally the only value millions upon millions of turkeys have to retailers is is to bring in customers to buy other things, twice a year (with turkeys of course being far more popular at Thanksgiving than Easter). There's still tons of retailers that won't even carry whole turkeys outside these two seasons because they're so expensive that no one will buy them.

If you don't start a huge grease fire on your back patio, you're already doing it wrong.
