Veal

[Kitte]

Ok having a brief discussion with a friend about veal. I wondered how many of ya'll eat it?

I personally won't eat it, I find the conditions used to "grow" it are disgusting and reprehensible. So do you eat veal?

VEAL:A Cruel Meal

Occasionally I have veal, but it is not one of my favorites. I have known about the conditions in which they were grown in before, but that has not stopped me from eating it.

I've never really liked veal, so it never was an issue.

Although when I worked at a restraunt I used to go "Aww, the poor baby calf!" to my coworkers as I was bringing it out. But I eat baby carrots, so I guess I was just being hypocritical.

That's pretty much the same with me. I haven't had it in years actually and don't terribly miss it.

Veal is good, nice and tender. I could care less how it is raised, as I go to the store and buy it in neat little packages.

I'd rather have a full sized steak

i like it but it's usually too expensive. it's kind of ridiculous to live in our industrial world and pretend food isn't an industry, with industrial means and methods of production. it'd be nice to think that everything would die of old age, and live to their full potential of cow-ness or chicken-ness, but it ain't gonna happen.

I like it if it is cooked well. I know that I can't cook it worth a damn.

If people knew how most animals were raised on the modern corporate farms that supply most of our meat, they would not care to eat it.

No to veal

I loved veal, but stopped eating it after I saw an ad in a magazine about the conditions the calves were kept in.
It's very cruel and could easily be stopped by lack of demand.

Have a don't eat veal.

truegentleman, if you follow that logic, then you realize that at the next juncture in the pipeline, if people observed the unsanitary conditions in food processing plants and in restaurants, they would never eat processed foods again.

But, I haven't eaten veal in years. I prefer red meat. Specifically, Kobe beef that is fed a diet of rice, beans, bran and - when it reaches 3 yrs of age - is fed beer. During this time it is massaged with "schochu" (Japanese gin) to distribute the fat into all tissue to make it tender.

Too bad it is currently banned in the US due to the Mad Cow scare in Japan a while back.

I haven't had veal in a long time but I can't say that if it were offered that I would turn away from it. But then I'm a food whore...I'll eat nearly anything!

I heart cow in a box.

 

[HeavyStick]

I only eat the veal from calves that starved from all the vegetarians eating their food.

Sometimes you sound just like me!

Now isn't that an interesting thought

We didn't spend 2000+ years fighting our way to the top of the food chain, just to give up now!!!

GIVE ME MEAT...

I ate veal when I was little, but as soon as I found out it was baby cow, I stopped eating it. I never really cared much for it anyway. I rarely eat any type of red meat.

 

[SpectralDragoon]

plants are alive too, so whats the deal?

cows are intelligent but plants aren't? bah

Unless you're in a 3rd world country somewhere, I doubt you eat much of Fido.
