The Supersized American Turkey

28 Nov 2013 • theatlantic.com

Mark it down: in 2013, the average weight for American produced turkey crossed 30 pounds for the first time. ... Go back a little further, like I did in 2008, and you see that we didn't hit 15 pounds until the 1930s. 

… And we owe it all to artificial insemination.

Who'd have guessed?
