Hormones in farm feed have been abolished back in the 80s. This is from breeding selective breeds . Stop watching shitty Facebook videos. Your brain has been rotted.

[–] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I literally corrected the sentence from "hormones" to "selective breeding" and it's still factual. Simple mistake. I don't watch shitty Facebook videos, and my brain isn't rotten... I just miss remembered what I assume was the scene from super size me 2 mentioned by another poster.

I also included a quote and a citation and my original post about how they grow so large so fast they often collapse under their own weight.

Truly the greatest of errors misremebering that was because of hormones 🙄

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Mis remembering hormones? Come on. That is a distinction you don’t ‘mis remember’ seeing as that was the catch phrase of the 2012 sensationalist click bait of the millennium for the PETA. That single phrase laboured under staged farm videos was essentially what dropped their credibility to zero.

You don’t mis remember what reduced an entire movement to fraud.

It's not hormones, non-medical antibiotic use is absolutely a contributing factor though.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They literally said ‘hormones’ and even admitted to changing it after once they entire internet called them out on it.

non-medical antibiotic

in humans

Important distinction.

I was pretty clear to be quoting YOU on the antibiotic quote. I can’t believe your audacity to spread misinformation without researching it first. Do your own homework.

What the heck are you talking about? I work in the meat industry, non-medical antibiotics is extensively used in poultry in the US and many other countries to cause them to grow larger. It was discovered in the 50s that continuous antibiotic use in poultry caused them to grow substantially faster. This is also done in many other livestock animals.

As for the first half of my statement, I was agreeing with their correction that growth hormones have been banned for some time but I was pointing out that this is often confused with antibiotic use for growth which is still very much a thing.
