"It's not meat grown in a lab or meat printed in 3D." It comes from actual chickens. The issue arises when chicken farmers give their chickens growth hormones to make them grow too quickly," another person mentioned.
According to Wall Street, chicken breasts can look different when farmers feed chickens chemicals to make them grow bigger.
"Dr. Massimiliano Petracci, a professor at the University of Bologna in Italy, stated that there is evidence linking these irregularities to birds that grow quickly."
In the past, it took chickens 112 days to reach a weight of 2.5 pounds for sale. Nowadays, chickens on average reach a weight of 5.03 pounds in 47 days.
"If more people continue to eat chicken, chickens may need to grow larger. We will also need to have more breast meat in each chicken." Dr. Michael Lilburn, a professor at Ohio State University's Poultry Research Center, stated.
"People don't understand that it is the demand from consumers that is making the industry change," Lilburn commented on the growing popularity of chicken products like nuggets, wings, and sandwiches.
"There is a small group of people who may seem insignificant, but they are asking important questions loudly." Most people in the U.S. don't care about the origin of their food as long as it is inexpensive," Liburn commented.
We must pay attention to what we eat to protect our health and the health of our children.
