Tell her to bring her own pillowcases. Tell her you WILL NOT be providing pillowcases for her, ever again. Problem solved!

The turkey tasted well btw.

If it tasted "well," why do you care how much it cost? Try to be gracious and appreciate hospitality instead of counting other people's money and side dishes.

Because it's injected with hormones and antibiotics and probably led a horrific life? Some people care about where their food is from. Duh. NP, btw.

Turkeys aren't treated with hormones. If you're going to complain about something, make sure you actually know what you're talking about. Next time, why don't you visit the farm, make sure the birds are happy, and then have one butchered right in front of you so you can be sure it was treated humanely. Your SIL will be thrilled that you provided such a high quality item for the meal.

Yes, because it's either a 50 cent per pound turkey or personally checking each turkey as if you were giving a presidential pardon. Definitely. No in-between at all.

What is the in-between option? Around here, you can pre-order a freshly butchered free-range bird from a farm or buy one frozen (or previously frozen) from the supermarket. I'm sure the supermarket will let you pay more if you insist.

There you go!!!! That sounds like a perfectly reasonable option. See, that wasn't so hard, now was it?

The reasonable option is the eat the perfectly fine food your family purchased and cooked for you like a gracious guest. I mean, you're too stupid to even realize that poultry isn't treated with hormones.

I'm not the PP. But anyone who thinks that what they put into their body is not going to have an effect, is an imbecile of the highest order. No one said they threw a fit, they said they were unhappy with the meal. Get it right.

It sounds like that poster was getting ready to pull the food out of her kid's mouth because her SIL bought it on sale. Nobody is harmed by eating turkey from the grocery store.I'm not saying that I don't care what I put into my body, I'm just saying that food labeled "all natural" or "organic" is absolutely no different to your health than the same food without those labels. It is a marketing ploy to get you to pay more. The joke is on you and the corporations are laughing all the way to the bank.

Use some of the kids' old worn out novelty pillowcases as "pillowcase covers" for the pillows that she'll be using...(Bob the Builder, Belle, Minions, etc)

No, this is DCUM hysteria and paranoia, as usual.

You can eat whatever antibiotic loaded meat you want, as much as you want. If you want to chow down on Big Macs every single day, I don't care- it's your body, you can hammer a nail through your hand if you want to. No sweat off my bag. But when you try to shame those of us who actually do care, that's when you look like a damn fool.

Buy a set of black pillowcases, just for her visits.

I cooked a Butterball turkey. It was on sale and delicious. It was also labeled as "no antibiotics" and "no hormones". Also, Butterballs are not made with any butter. That's right, no butter was harmed in the making of my Butterball turkey.

Why? What turkey do you buy? Or do you just get one of those frozen Tofurkey rolls?

That's the brand of turkey that we ALWAYS buy because it really is a delicious turkey. I really think that people overthink this stuff to their own detriment (and expense).
