Here’s a fun Thanksgiving fact to talk about this year at the table. Today’s turkeys are around 30 pounds heavier on average now than they were in the 1960s. The species as a whole has been a product of selective breeding in America to the point that they are now physiologically different than their ancestors. For example, turkeys are now so big they can no longer stand upright, nor fly! I didn’t even know a turkey could fly! See the rest of the differences below.
