@dkdoll There are no hormones injected into broilers. They grow so fast because of how they've been genetically selected by breeders over the years.

@XmojotronX oh c'mon u know exactly who designed not only a turkey's embryo but all life forms from the simple bacterias to the huge whale shark.!!! do i have to say his name?

Intelligently desined turkey embryo! i wonder who thought of it?

I'm a meat eater, but I do feel that the agriculture has become way too industrialized. From hormone injections and antibiotics, the focus is directly on how to produce more meat cheaper, quicker. But that means that concern for our health is compromised.

My dad grew up on a small farm, and he tells me that chickens needed to grow for 6 months before they were slaughtered. Now, with the added hormones, it takes 6 weeks. That meat can't be good for you.

@JesusChristRulesYOU and you know what else? these are millions of turkey we're talking about. If these millions were allowed a chance to live life, then what's going to happen to the turkey food industry? or the turkey meat lovers? Or food rations in general? There would be less food, and that means more starvation... and more economic deficit.

Jesus christ is a hoax. Please take your tiny little tree hugging mind elsewhere and brag about things like why things aren't the christian way.

@JesusChristRulesYOU - Back then, they had to raise livestock to kill them for sacrifices. Does that mean it was a sin? And I'm pretty sure it's not a sin to use animals for food, either.

[FireAce44]

@JesusChristRulesYOU kill them for food. God meant it to be that way. Ur prob an imbalanced vegetarian too.
