"Political Pistachio: Early Thanksgiving "


"The concept of a Thanksgiving Feast is not uniquely American. The Spanish Colonies also had thanksgiving ceremonies and meals as well. The colonists in the New World, be they English, Dutch, French, Spanish, or of any other European origin, were a deeply religious people, and felt it necessary to give thanks to God for their survival, and prosperity, in their new land. The Pilgrims had plenty to be thankful for, and so theirs is the story that has been most publicized (perhaps with a little help from the 1861 push for a Thanksgiving Holiday). However, Turkey was not the dominant item on the menu, nor was many of our other traditional favorites..."

happy thanksgiving ! i ALWAYS SEARCH MY GRANDPA'S NAME AROUND THANKSGIVING for any new ITERATIONS of his BUTTERBALL STORY. HERE'S A NEW ONE

IT'S A REPEAT OF SIMILAR DESCRIPTIONS..although they don't mention that he retained the rights for using it with his butter as well, hence "Butterball Farms" is still in business to this day, their biggest contract being the small McDonalds butter patties handed out usually with the hotcakes. But they also make larger patties for fancy restaurants around the midwest. 

"The Butterball turkey name was trademarked back in 1940 by Ada Walker. Leo Peters purchased the trademark in 1951 and licensed the name to Swift and Company. Ten years later he sold it to Swift, which was acquired in 1990 by ConAgra. In 2006 ConAgra sold the Butterball brand to Carolina Turkey, making it the largest turkey producer in the United States, producing more than 1 billion pounds of turkey each year. That's a lot of turkey!

video: INTERESTING NEWS STORY BY CHANNEL 8 re the "BUTTERBALL MANSION" ESTATE SALE (12/5/17)

see video at 
JESUS SAVES !!

ALL of the PETERS KIDS (from the 1st & 2nd marriages, that's 5 + 3) ATTENDED GRAND RAPIDS CHRISTIAN HIGH and CALVIN COLLEGE(except one of the late daughters, Brenda, who was developmantally disabled) , and attended CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCHES in Grand Rapids growing up (and at least 4 of the grandchildren are also Eagle-Knights ) 

Mark was the only son of the late Leo Peters , and inherited the Butterball Farms business (also based in Grand Rapids). They continue to manufacture "fancy butter" , a tiny version of which is provided with the hotcakes at McDonalds around the USA. 

Butterball actually began in Evanston Ilinois, and then moved to West Michigan. The older daughters from Leo Peters 1st marriage (to Helen, who died at a young age) helped their father as he began experimenting with making butter beautiful in their apartment home near Lake Michigan in the Chicago area. Once it began to sell well, Leo moved to Grand Rapids, bought the mansion, established a factory on Buchanan Avenue, and the rest, as they say, is history.*

Mark recently sold the "Butterball Mansion" and apparently left much of the estate to the new owner, who apparently is selling it off , and re-selling the mansion ? 

see video at 
JESUS SAVES !!

*albeit, while Leo Peters was a smart businessman, there are those family members who contend he was NOT a good person in terms of relationships & family, which, when all is said and done, is most important , right ? At least if it is properly aligned with a relationship with Jesus Christ: Father -Son- &- Holy Spirit. Being a successful business person and making lots of money means very little in the end if the bigger picture of one's life  does not do something positive in the eyes of our Lord God. Leo attended LaGrave Avenue CRC. He also sent all his kids to the Christian schools, and he, himself, also attended Calvin College. For some, however, the Christian schools, are just a good "private" option. 

How about any of you at Calvin or Christian High? Are you there because of CHRIST or because it's a good , private, option  to public education ? I HOPE AND PRAY you're there for the RIGHT REASONS! Yes, I went there too (Calvin & GRCH) and now I am in southern California. I KNOW how easy it is to go thru the motions of church and Christian education. But at some point you have to make a SERIOUS CRITICAL INTROSPECTIVE DECISION to truly follow Christ and put your MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS... ; don't just go thru the motions ! GOD BLESS YOU. GOD BLESS US. AND LET US BLESS GOD

SOME OF MY THANKSGIVING-RELATED POSTS from YEARS GONE BY CAN BE VIEWED HERE IN A TURN-THE-PAGE WEBSITE

11/20/17 A NEW BUTTERBALL STORY IN THE NEWS that REFERENCES GRANDPA LEO PETERS

"

Anyway, in 1951, Leo Peters purchased the trademark from Walker for $10.  Having collected the interesting mark, Peters didn't know what to use it for at first (like I said, some of this story doesn't really pass muster), so while he was deciding, he licensed it to a Chicago meat processing company, Swift & Co., famous for having retained its status as a major food company even after serving as a poster child and punching bag for Teddy' Roosevelt's trust-busting crusade a few decades earlier.

The first BUTTERBALL brand turkey reportedly was sold by Swift in 1954. Based on trademark assignment records, the product must have been a hit because Leo Peters permanently and formally licensed or assigned the registration to Swift in 1956.  Peters apparently retained non-poultry related rights in the BUTTERBALL mark and, in the late 1950's or early 1960's, founded Butterball Farms, Inc., a butter company in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that is still in business but has nothing to do with turkey..."

Video re "750 Plymouth Ave SE, East Grand Rapids, MI 49506"

Although the description below is of something else. But what I find staggering is how self-indulgent Mark has become... Look at the weight room... Its like a club.. And the wine bottles... So many..and the boating toys in the warehouse, wow! ...does he still call himself a Christian? Is he generous?

Not that Leo was a great guy, but he was never ostentatious with his money, except for the house itself.

By the way, the house was recently sold... It's no longer the "butterball mansion" as of the end of 2017.

Yes JimLim, I'm still praying 4 PNRR [post Nancy righteousness revival],the Peters2 family must do the right thing 4their own sake/soul

Yes JimLim, I'm still praying 4 PNRR [post Nancy righteousness revival],the Peters2 family must do the right thing 4their own sake/soul...perhaps if u r cynics u think this is about money 💰 for me.. But it's the OPPOSITE.. I don't want money from them, it would be to the Peters P1 sisters anyways ,but about them re-framing the narrative... They've had to denigrate us as a family and individuals to justify basically stealing from the P1 family. And they have to keep doing so to keep it that way... To somehow justify their horrific injustice they need to tell themselves it's because they are better people, and that the p2 family is a flawed unit....
Maybe privately on the side they have done something for you, I don't know. I hope so. But its been terrible for our family

[not directly related to terrorism, but] i don't normally do this, but PLEASE PRAY for a "PARADIGM SHIFT" re MY FAMILY RELATIVES WHO I CALL THE "PETERS 2 FAMILY"

 ...One of my relatives, Nancy Peters, just died, and it's a long convoluted "soap opera" about my Peters family relatives...she was actually my "step grandma" (my real grandma died before I was born)...and there are lots of details about what happened when Nancy married my late  grandfather Leo Peters, and she had kids of her own , hence the "Peters 2" family versus the "Peters 1" family...and my grandfather owned Butterball Farms in Grand Rapids MI and they sell butter to McDonalds Restaurants which made them very successful and financially well-to-do  which is great but it also meant a lot of "money issues"  with regards to family members and family feuds etc...and lots of it revolved around Nancy and her kids, (the Peters 2 kids), and now she just died in November 2016 and everybody is gathering for the funeral in west Michigan, and I am hoping & praying for a GIGANTIC PARADIGM SHIFT to reflect upon God's sense of justice and righteousness, not man's. And I have members of my family attending the funeral who were adversely affected by this long saga...I myself am not going...too far to travel for me at the moment..; but I am praying that my family members who are attending can help effectuate a NEW PARADIGM...this is a "window of opportunity" open only for a short while because of the death of Nancy, and so I ask ALL OF YOU who read this, IF YOU are Christian believers and persons of prayer to ADD YOUR PRAYERS to this hope for a new paradigm of TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS & JUSTICE...this will effect more than just my small family and more than just the Peters 2 but really it "trickles down" to all segments of society. . There were a lot of VERY SERIOUS GRIEVOUS ISSUES that happened over time [ a different kind of "terror" ] that need to be rectified and I am hoping and praying for this to happen now, God Willing, even though perhaps some hearts are too hardened.  Thanks !

,,CONDOLENCES CARD TO PETERS 2 FAMILY re NANCY PETERS, RIP

Day3, prayer 4 empowerment of jimLin @ Nancy [peters2] funeral

Trinity God we pray that beloved Jimlin can be mediators of a new paradigm in the Peter's family history, that is equitable, just, fair, & righteous. Let Your 💡 Light shine thru Jesus. Let ALL the Peters trust you more than money 💰!! Let them release their clinging, and along with it the need to denigrate & mistreat others ,including your faithful servant, John Philip A.K ....Lord U alone know my heart ♥ & while I am not perfect, I don't deserve persecution from the Peters2 family or any of the Peters, especially not anymore... And Nancy particularly disliked me. I hope she made peace with God about her unfair bias before she passed, but let bygones be bygones and now let us hope for a new paradigm in peters2 history ...not that I plan to visit with them ever again necessarily but I want their hearts 💕 changed for the sake of the cross.... And JimLin to help effectuate this according to Thy will, Trinity God, hear our prayers

RIP re my STEP-GRANDMA "Nancy Peters Obituary" (2nd wife of Butterball Farms Founder, the late Leo Peters)

photo courtesy: GR Press
SHE was my grandfather Leo Peters 2nd wife, so not really my grandma, but sort of, albeit she never really had any affection for us as our real grandma normally would have (had she lived long enough)...; nonetheless we had a few nice times with her at the cottage & a few other holiday events,
...as a Christian my main concern is for the repose of her soul...I know she was involved with the church but I don't know how much she grew as a Christian in terms of love for others, or love for the kids & grandkids from the 1st family (ie Peters I family) . But I don't want to rehash all that crazy stuff that I've tried to forget about... 

" Nancy Peters, age 84, of Grand Rapids, passed away Saturday, November 12, 2016. ..."
