From the Baltimore Sun:
While the nation's largest turkey producer said it was facing a shortage of fresh large birds weeks before Thanksgiving, Maryland's poultry giant Perdue said it would have no trouble meeting demand.
"Perdue is not experiencing any shortage of turkeys for Thanksgiving," said spokeswoman Julie DeYoung. "Our customers place their turkey orders well in advance of the holiday and we have sufficient supply to meet those orders."
Butterball said its poultry had trouble gaining weight on some of its farms, but did not explain why. The company still has ample supplies of its frozen large varieties, which are birds 16 pounds and heavier.

Butterball turkeys probably have been listening to Michelle Obama's diatribe about healthy eating and obesity and came up with the idea of dieting to stay away from our dinner tables.
