really? you have any facts to back this up?

There are plenty of facts to back that up, but they are admittedly hard to find, even in the age of Google. Any time you do a search for anything involving breasts useful information gets lost in the 'noise' if you know what I mean. There was an article in Newsweek a few years ago about the phenomena that I remember specifically.

Some other interesting reading on the subject can start with this guy:
Norman Borlaug
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug

He is credited with the spread of industrial farming techniques that changed the world. There is debate about whether his efforts really helped things because they caused other problems down the road, but no one debates that he changed the world. His efforts marked the end of 'organic' farming in much of the world.
