Education

[Guest guest]

Just educated a friend about veal. Even though he's a hard-core carnivore, he

turned pale when I gave him a brief description of how baby calves are raised

for veal. I think he may now be headed slowly down the path towards

vegetarianism.

 

I thought everyone knew what veal is, but obviously not, so ongoing education

of friends is important.

Interesting, I love it, too, when I say I won't eat jello and a meateater

wonders why, and I get to tell them, giggle.

That's why it's called VEAL, instead of baby cow. Meat producers don't want us

to associate it with the animal that it comes from. That's why we have all of

these euphamistic names for things (beef, poultry, sausage, pork). You never

see a package at the store labeled, GROUND PIG AND SPICES.

People are so squeamish, it makes me wonder how on earth they manage to eat

meat.
