paul the pilgrim is here to share his knowledge* with you.
everyone is so quick to say that the tryptophan in turkey is what makes them so sleepy. buncha liars!
chicken has more tryptophan than turkey.
so does pork.
and some cheeses.
red meat and salmon are almost tied.
so it's not the turkey. stop saying that it is.
perhaps it's just the fact that the average person consumes between 4,000 and 4,500 calories on Thanksgiving day. And all those excess calories can bog you down.
i think we've all learned something today.

THANK YOU! I hate it when people spout off that BS about turkey making them sleepy. Uhh, perhaps it's because they overwhelm their bodies by stuffing their faces full of carbs and fat!
