Rebutting Zooey's Thanksgiving Hatred

In controversial food news, America’s Peter Pan-collared sweetheart Zooey Deschanel recently announced on Jimmy Kimmel Live that she has a major grievance with Thanksgiving food. The crux of her argument? “Most of it’s beige or grey.” Zooey, you are so cute and so delightful and so talented. But you are also so wrong. While I probably shouldn’t be taking this so personally, I am in a borderline relationship with Thanksgiving food. And, girl, nobody talks about my boyfriend like that.

Instead of launching a verbal coup, I’m just going to sit back and let the food speak for itself. In the meantime, Zooey, I love/admire/respect you. But that’s officially strike one.
