    This is the one dish chefs agree should disappear from Thanksgiving

    Thanksgiving dinner brings thoughts of turkey, stuffing and sweet potato casserole. But one of those things chefs want you to stop adding to the menu -- sweet potato casserole.

    Why? It's like an appetizer dessert!

    The dish which is sweet potatoes and sugar topped with toasted marshmallows is a delight for children of all ages. Yet even though the regular people love it, chef's disagree on the casserole's positive qualities.

    "There's no texture, no balance -- just sweet on sweet and soft on soft. The premise of the dish frustrates me," said Michael Symon from ABC's "The Chew."

    Guy Fieri spoke about the dish and said: "There's nothing I like about it at all." Really? Not even toasted marshmallows?

    The community of professional chefs might not like the dish, but this is America, and a side dish that is full of sugar certainly not going anywhere.

    Check out the slideshow above for the complete list of best and worst Thanksgiving foods for your health!

    Trump executive order on anti-Semitism stirs confusion

    The Red Heifer: A speech pathologist in Texas was asked to sign a contract addendum affirming that she would not boycott Israel during the term of her contract with the state. She refused. Her contract was not renewed. She had been with the school district for nine years and is now suing over violations of her freedom of speech. At the University of Michigan, controversy arose after a professor declined to write a reference letter for a student intending to study abroad in Israel. He cited his political beliefs and practice of BDS as his reason. The university disciplined him, revoking his annual raise and cancelling his planned sabbatical. The American Association of University Professors, an organization which explicitly does not endorse BDS on the grounds that academic boycotts violate the principles of academic freedom, criticized the university’s response. Civil rights activist Angela Davis was slated to receive an award from the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, until it was withdrawn after BCRI received complaintsabout Davis’s outspoken support for BDS.
