Fact-checking is alimentary [Dana Summers letter]

As someone who adores political cartoons, I was very disappointed in Dana Summers's Thanksgiving Day editorial cartoon. The cartoon is factually incorrect.
According to the American Farm Bureau Federation, the cost of a classic turkey dinner with all the fixings was down 4.5 percent from last year. This information was published Nov. 15 by the federation and was widely available. Summers did not do his due diligence.
Readers expect newspapers to present factually correct information. Factual integrity matters, and this cartoon didn't make the grade.
