The strip comment about steroid use in chickens being legal got me curious so I looked it up. According to the FDA, the use of steroids and other hormones in producing meat animals is not legal. One site I saw said the practice had been banned since the 1950’s and that the enormous chickens and turkeys we see in the grocery store are the product of selective breeding.
