Woman shares a photo of chicken breast which was ‘spaghettified’

"There is proof that these abnormalities are associated with fast-growing birds," said Dr. Massimiliano Petracci of Italy's University of Bologna, who teaches courses in agricultural and food science.

Modern chickens attain an average market weight of 5.03 pounds in 47 days, compared to the 112 days it used to take birds to reach 2.5 pounds.

"Chickens will likely need to grow substantially larger if poultry consumption continues at its current rate...Additionally, we'll need to raise the percentage of breast flesh in every bird. said Dr. Michael Lilburn of the Poultry Research Center at Ohio State University.

"What people don't realize is that it's consumer demand that's forcing the industry to adjust," Lilburn said, referring to the surge in demand for chicken items like nuggets, wings, and sandwiches.

There is a vociferous minority that is misleadingly tiny, yet they are asking many valid questions. In addition, Liburn said that most Americans still don't care about the origin of their food as long as it's inexpensive.

For the sake of our own and our children's health, we should really watch what we eat.
