Me neither and not a political joke:

Environmentally when a species like deer, squirrel, etc. over populate an area and there are more animals than food there is a die off.

Once the population gets back to where the environment can support it,

it does good and there is a balance.

If I was an evolutionist I would say to let the population go on its merry way, because once the environment can't sustain the population there will be a die off to bring the population back into balance.

No one needs to do anything.

In evolution it is called "The survival of the fittest".

Unless of course you are on the endangered species list, then you are protected by the government. And the government will manipulate the environment so you will survive. Defeating evolution.

Think about it.

A suggestion:

Maybe change that to America's households cuz it's not practiced anywhere else in the world.

It's only in the US where Pilgrims were thankful for 5 kernels of corn. Which was the daily allotment in that first winter, it was in the 2nd winter that the Indians helped, and they stopped in the middle of the meal and gave thanks and ate 5 kernels of corn in remembrance.

During their first winter in America, the Pilgrims faced a season of horrible famine. Food was so scarce that most days the Pilgrims only had a daily ration of 5 kernels of corn apiece. How did they survive this hardship? By giving in to bitterness and despair? No. The Pilgrims chose to trust in the Lord – regardless of their circumstances.

Only in America would people be thankful for that.

As I recall about the Plymouth Colony, it was as the Virginia Colony in that certain people decided that they were too important to share the labor for food production. When the crop failure happened and people were starving to death, the Governor made a rule: "No work, no eat." Everyone was given a parcel of land to farm and the crop production was an over abundance of food, so they held a feast to celebrate using the "excess of their bounty," not their larder, not their pantry, but the excess.

Thanksgiving is a celebration of the individual work ethic and effort to produce (work) for the reward of wealth and materiel over collectivism.

The "Pilgrims" were able to farm because Squanto, a Christian Indian went to the colony and helped them. Squanto was abducted by slavers and sold several times before being bought by an Anglican Minister or Abbot and after being baptized he was emancipated and found his way home, only to discover that his entire village and clan died off from disease and illness. Squanto was adopted by another village of a different clan.
