I recently read this article about Alligators in Florida and Louisiana getting messed up by steroids. Farmers are feeding their animals food that contains steroids and stormwater has caused the roids to leak into the swamp.
What is interesting is that now the female gators are growing faster than the males. Birth defects are increasing etc.
The gators are suffering from the exact same un-natural problems that humans are.
What makes this scary is that this is happening to animal that has survived for thousands of years because it is so tough. An animal that is incapable of contracting cancer or the HIV virus. An animal that heals open wounds normally in the nasty swamp but steroids are screwing them up.
We should be very concerned about this. The steroids in food are not good guys...
