According to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/index.html\">U.S. Department of Agriculture<\/a>, roasted turkey has almost 3 times the caloric value and 1.5 times the protein value of an equivalent serving of fried tofu by weight. Between 1990 and the time of this writing, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fred.stlouisfed.org\/graph\/?g=IPfw\">average global price of poultry has been 6 times higher than the price of soybeans<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As of the third quarter of 2021, a hearty Thanksgiving dinner serving of turkey costs $1.42.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fred.stlouisfed.org\/graph\/?g=IPia\">A tofurkey (soybean) dinner serving with the same amount of calories costs $0.66<\/a>&nbsp;and provides almost twice as much protein. Keep in mind that this plant-based meal would be almost 3 times larger by weight than the poultry-based meal and may either keep you at the dinner table longer or provide you with more leftovers. Of course, our calculations here don\u2019t include the time value, energy costs, and additional ingredients required to cook the meals.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The impetus behind this is Bidenflation. The price of turkey is up more than 24 percent from a year ago, according to the Department of Labor. The price of an average than Thanksgiving meal is up 14 percent, the Farm Bureau said last week.<\/p>\n<p>Not to be outdone, NBC this weekend ran a segment advising Americans to consider giving up turkey for Thanksigivng.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.8571428571429\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m not saying ditch the turkey, that\u2019s sacrilege.
