>> Martha Stewart goes veg for Thanksgiving! “Do you know that the average American eats more than 200 lbs of meat each year?” she asks to kick off a segment on vegetarian Thanksgiving dishes — with special guests Robert Kenner of Food, Inc. and Eating Animals author Jonathan Safran Foer.

>> To be clear, Martha’s not against meat altogether — but does indict meat from factory farms and encourage eating a less meat-centric diet. Which is to say — If you’re having turkey, I hope you opted for an organic, heritage turkey! Get a close look at an organic turkey farm thanks to ClizBiz, who visited one recently and took lots of pictures — and learn how the resurgence of traditionally-raised, heritage turkeys in Sonoma County, Calif., came about via a Slideshow in The Atlantic.

>> Whether vegan or carnivore, Akasha restaurant’s got a Thanksgiving dinner for eco-foodies (PDF) who don’t want to cook. Pick between vegan wild peppercorn and sage-roasted tofu, pomegranate-jalapeno jelly-glazed Niman Ranch ham, or slow-roasted turkey for your main course — and also enjoy a starter, a side, and an old fashioned pie buffet.
