In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

Turkey in tryptophan
This episode actually has created this big myth that turkey is some major source of tryptophan. In reality, tryptophan is an essential amino acid our body cannot produce on its own and is required to make serotonin, and thus, happiness in the brain. Tryptophan exists in trace amounts in most natural foods—the only way to get enough of it in your diet is to eat a variety of natural foods. But turkey has about the same tryptophan/gram as most other foods. In this episode, the reasoning for pinning sleepiness on turkey is its prevalence at thanksgiving meals. Well it turns out that one of the highest tryptophan/gram foods is also prevalent at thanksgiving meals: pumpkin. And if we want to get technical it’s not tryptophan that makes you sleepy itself, it’s that tryptophan is processed with vitamin d to create melatonin during the day, which lack of at night causes insomnia.

I feel like this info should be added to this article in some fashion. 2600:100F:B112:A69B:DD18:E3ED:176A:EC9A (talk) 12:31, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
