    Sadly, that’s actually a real problem. It was banned pretty quickly in poultry, but cattle and sheep in the US are still usually given testosterone to grow more muscle more quickly, since that’s what meat is.

    Honestly, chickens aren’t really any better. They’ve just been bred to have dangerously high growth hormone levels without needing to inject them. Then they get to say they didn’t give them any hormones on the packaging though. Appealing to transphobes isn’t even the reason it’s there. I’m sure the people doing it don’t mind appealing to transphobes though. That’s just a neat bonus to them, I’m sure.

    god this kind of packaging pisses me off, they love to plaster it with all kinds of claims but actually important stuff like where it’s fucking raised and produced is at best written in tiny text somewhere on the backside

    tell me where it’s from, then i’ll care about anything else.
