For the men who have – or think they have – small penises and have wondered why they were dealt this fate, here’s your chance to find out why: it’s your mother. Apparently, when she was pregnant, she ate a lot of chicken wings, and chicken wings have been found to contain a certain small-penis-causing chemical called, phthalate.
Unfortunately for me, after reading this and seeing the high-definition picture of chicken wings attached, all I want to do now is eat chicken wings. But I’m not pregnant, so I’m allowed. For all the pregnant women who have eaten or are eating chicken wings and are currently reading this post, I bet your face looks something like this: 😯
Here’s how Daily Mail is reporting it:
Women who eat chicken while pregnant give birth to boys with smaller penises, according to ‘shock-tactic’ animal rights group Peta.
In an attempt to ruffle feathers at last weekend’s National Buffalo Wings Festival, in Buffalo, New York, Peta wrote to organisers to warn of the effects of the chemical phthalate which is found in chicken flesh.

The letter from Peta’s Lindsay Rajt, to festival founder Drew Cerza, reads: ‘The latest scientific evidence shows that the sons of pregnant women who consume chicken are more likely to have smaller penises because of a chemical found in the birds’ flesh.
‘Findings published by the Study for Future Families showed that eating poultry during pregnancy may lead to smaller penis size in male infants.
‘In addition, eating cholesterol-laden chicken flesh during pregnancy may also increase unborn babies’ risk of being born with blocked arteries, which can lead to strokes and heart attacks later in life.’
But don’t toss out that drumstick just yet.
According to Woman’s Health magazine, the research was for the Study for Future Families did not actually look at chicken consumption at all.
While it did identify a link with prenatal phthalate exposure and penis size, chicken was not found to be a food with particularly high levels of the chemical, with spices and fast food packaging being the worst culprits.
Shanna Swan Ph.D., a professor in the department of preventive medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, who conducted the research PETA cites, told Women’s Health: ‘I think any link between eating buffalo wings—even by pregnant women—and the size of their son’s genitals is very tenuous.’
Peta are known for using controversial tactics to highlight the issue of animal suffering including nude models, throwing buckets of blood and a children’s comic entitled Your Mommy Kills Animals.
However it appears their latest stunt failed to deter food fans at the Buffalo Wings festival with an estimated 40 tons of chicken wings being consumed.
And in a potentially Peta-pleasing gesture, a meatless alternative was offered for the first time in the festival’s 12 year history.

This, my people, is why men have small penises. All I can say is, Funmie loves chicken wings, and I fear for her sons’ penile glory – or lack of.
P.S. PETA needs to take a chill pill
P.P.S. What the heck is a meatless chicken wing?
Chicken wings huh? but black men….never mind.
Looool. I see where you’re going with that, Meke. Yaaaaassssssss! #ThatsAll
As soon as i saw the title, i knew a Funmie comment was going to pop up… LOL
My fav appetizer of all time… bufallo chicken wings, celery and ranch!!!
Lol this is why I hate studies like this. You gotta take them with a grain of salt.
Ola, oh yeah, you definitely always have to take these studies with a whole lot of salt … or else, they will drive you crazy with all the information they’re constantly spewing out.
LOL. I love chicken wings na…. I shall bear this in mind when I prepare to conceive my son.
Aaaahhh! Biko, bear that in mind oh cause we wouldn’t want your son to disappoint his future wife, all because of chicken wings. Lol.
You’re not pregnant? I’m disappointed.
Ehhhmmm. I’m sorry, I’ll try better next time? Lol.
I’m begining to doubt if everynews on dailymail is true. Like this one, I want to believ that some of the stories over there are ficticious– like the stored on fakenaijanews site.
Lol. Well, we have to remember that Daily Mail is only reporting the truth as they know it … I’m assuming. That said, this story is very, very possible.
”this story is very very possible”
no….no its not…lol stop being so naive!
don’t believe this crap. its not true.
My dad told me that when my mom was pregnant with me, she ate two dozen wings every day. She craved wings. I know you have a very small manhood, then he showed me this article.
Lol. I don’t even know what to say.
