Ok I will be the lone voice I eat veal and love it. of course I eat only the ones my folks raise. It has flavor and it very good. Most meats you buy from the stores are flavorless in my opinion. My folks would by our meat animals from a jersey dairy farmer (the breed not the place) He breed his cows to Angus bulls (smaller calves for them) . we would go to the auction and get calves (mom would always get thre sick ones! Soft heart, plus very cheap usually about 5 bucks a piece) we'd run the meds needed and one bag of milk replacer then they would be taken to the butcher. They were always gotten for the company of the beef animal they eat better if in compation. Most of these calves would have been hit in the head and left behind the auction house for the rendering plant. So we gave them a healthy 2 months they would not have had.
I was raised on a poor farm so I guess I have a different perpective than some of you.
