Agriculture collects solar energy two-dimensionally; but silviculture collects it three dimensionally.
It's never too late to start! I retired to homestead on the slopes of Mauna Loa, an active volcano. I relate snippets of my endeavor on my blog : www.kaufarmer.blogspot.com

I strongly recommend Mt.Healthy from Ohio. If you want breeding stock, I recommend sandhill preservation.

It is a choice issue about "we are what we eat". In a nut shell, you eat oversized fat animals, you will become oversized and fat. Not only is there evidence that eating these birds directly changes our own bodies. It also carries over all the negative issues like, Heart, liver and other organ issues, structure issues and overall behavior issues like sitting near the food dish (fridge) and not going out and free ranging to get our food. I would argue that by developing these birds we have in fact sentenced our selves to this existence.
Interesting how much of a correlation there is between the chickens of 60 years ago and the BMI index on humans vs today! A perfect matching scale.

CX have an amazing conversion ratio of intake to growth. As we consume these birds do we change too? Do we also adapt this ability to better convert our foods to growth (fat).
According to a few studies on the genetic level we are seeing changes to DNA based of the foods consumed and the growth of traits of the food consumed.
Consider the growth of Humans over the past 1000 years. On average we have grown about 5 inches. Why? Most likely reason was the abundance of foods.
Now consider the mutations of our foods over the last decade. We have developed these giant Chickens, Turkeys, Pigs and cows all through domestication and selective breeding.
Which is all great. Lots more food for everyone. The problem is out bodies are now also growing just as we have bred our animals to. We are what we eat!
