Interestingly, in this same major, New York City area newspaper, there
was an article a while back that contained a relevant statement:

chickens..." Newsday newspaper, May 4, 2005.
And of course there is the old saying about the farmer's corn-fed
daughter, meaning an overweight one.
Corn-fed, not corn oil fed.
Again, I find it amazing how no
"expert" in the mainstream media is even mentioning this point,
What point? That animals are given maize and soya to eat? How is that
news?
You seem to think animals are given troughs of oil to drink.
which
is clearly the best explanation of the "obesity epidemic," considering
how soybean oil consumption rose tremendously since the early 1960s
and canola has had a similar rise since the 1980s.
It's not the oil, it's the starch in maize and soyabeans that fattens
animals (and people) up.
