  • Chickens have gotten huge since the 1950's

    " modern-day chickens are more efficient at turning feed into breast meat. The researchers' metric for this was something they called the "breast conversion rate" of grams of feed into grams of breast meat. The 2005 breed was roughly three times as efficient as the 1950s one."

    So is this just GH or breeding practices or genetic modification or what?

          How many chickens have I eaten....

          Let's just say an average of 6 breast per day. Let's say I eat that 300 days per year to make it easy. That's 1800 breast per year. 9000 breast over the course of 5 years. Ha
