Thanksgiving "did you know... ?"

The standard Thanksgiving turkey, the flagship product of Butterball - the "large-breasted white" is a turkey which, through breeding, has produced an animal which has such a large breast and such short legs that it is no longer able to reproduce naturally and must be artificially inseminated. The turkeys are too fat and pudgy to fuck.

Isn't that sad for the turkeys? (aside from the notion that they are born with the sole purpose of becoming a centerpiece of holiday gluttony) At least that means that if ever there's a genetically modified version getting loose, it won't be able to take over the world. Likewise, extreme disabling obesity among humans should prevent the propogation of that as a genetic trait if IVF ever disappears from our skill set... Then again, if we enter a Brave New World and are synthetically produced, that might be a problem for our own breed.
