Q: 40% of all Thanksgiving dinners will have this in common?

A: A kids table

Here are five random Thanksgiving stats for you . . .

  1. Women prefer white meat, and men prefer dark.  But it’s pretty close for both.  57% of women said they go for white meat, while 51% of men said they prefer dark.
  1. 40% of Thanksgiving dinners will have a kids’ table.  But at a third of those, at least one ADULT will end up sitting with the kids.
  1. 12% of us are doing a “Friends-giving,” where you eat with friends instead of family.
  1. 8% of us are planning to have Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant.
  1. And the two topics we’ll be avoiding at dinner are money and politics.  28% said talking about finances should be off-limits, and 30% said politics should be.  But about 25% of us expect to talk about the election anyway.
