Veal calfs are only fed milk or milk substitute. They're never put on grass or given grass products to eat.

I draw the line at anything that is cruel to the animal, one reason i have never eaten veal and never will, most people will not know this but to get pale color they feed calfs a diet that makes them enaemic which to me is well i have no words i can write on here

I do agree, but the opportunity was there and I took it. Never again though!

Not tried veal either, and yes that's on my no-go list as well.

Veal calfs aren't subjected (in UK) to anything bar being fed milk. UK children can however be subjected to no fresh food whatsoever!

Not all cows, though. Dairy cows are the result of selective breeding, they produce 8x the amount of milk as "natural" cows. As far as I know they also need to be impregnated to start producing milk, and then the calves are taken from them and either culled if they are male,

Veal calfs are only fed milk or milk substitute. They're never put on grass or given grass products to eat.

This is why there is a push to try and sell more Rose Veal in this country as they are fed on straw and cereal not milk.

Perhaps they should try renaming it so it doesn’t have the stigma of veal.

Straw..sounds a bit harsh...more likely hay.

I agree with your stance, so I choose rose veal instead. The name comes from the colour of the meat, which is a delicate pinkish colour instead of the usual anaemic white, because the calves are not cage-farmed and have high welfare conditions for their short lives. I think this strikes a good ethical balance, as so many bull calves produced in the dairy industry would be without valued and killed off, whereas a calf farmed for rose veal at least has a happy life and a useful death.

I think i could live with that

Children can be perfectly healthy on a vegan diet.

Rose veal is delicious.

Really is that with a lot of chemicals additives.

Had a Figlmüller-Schnitzel (pork) for lunch which they’ve been making since 1905 so you don’t need to use veal and it was delicious.

Yum those lucky children, where’s the Calcium?
Edit: why not give the children a vegetarian diet until they are old enough to choose.

I'm not a vegan, actually I'm not even a vegetarian, I like fish and cheese too much. However I do get annoyed at lazy tropes about vegans.

Calm down, I’m not a Trope what ever that is. It’s getting to something when you can’t make a valid comment without being called names.

They weren't calling you names? A trope is like an overused opinion. For example a common trope of homebrew when you speak to people is "it's all rocket fuel".

Bin men are rubbish drivers.

Bin men are rubbish drivers.

Off topic but this reminds me of a guy I used to work with... He had hundreds of jokes like this. He would frame them like "they're rubbish drivers aren't they?" Who? "Bin men". Others include "he's changed his tune, hasn't he?" Who? "The ice cream man". "He's climbing the walls in there!" Who? "Spiderman." "He's going to get really wound up" who? "Jack in the Box".

Etc etc etc
