Chicken,fish,cows everything is injected with hormones and steroids.Even fish that isn't natural they raise it in a farm and give it hormones and steroids so it could lenghten their lives and make them bigger.Try to avoid food with this kind of junk.There are organic stores provided everywhere, just go to your local one.If you live somewhere around Winco Foods, they sometimes have organic chicken and I always buy it from there, it costs less money than in other organic stores. GOOD LUCK & HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
You have to understand this. That chicken wholesalers buy chickens from farms that are FDA regulated. If the FDA found steriods or any hormones on one of the test chickens in their labs. The FDA would slap someones butt for it. Chicken wholesalers like Perdue, pay alot of money for on-site FDA agents that inspect their facility for effectiveness, cleanness, and for any germs like salmonella. They wouldn't risk it or else federal guildlines would shut the place down. Peta would be on their butt and all not good.
It could be a different guildline.
"All of these hormones are administered by injection to dairy cows.", excerpt from http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/vetext/INF...
That's why Organic is such a big thing. No steriod, hormones in the foods.
