Follow that drop calf to it's new home. It is a cage where it is either

suspended, kept so crampt that is has only minimal movement, or both. It is

" spoon fed " so to say, till it reaches the right size with a little developed

miscle as possible (the less the muscle, the whiter the meat. The witer the

meat the more per pound the ogre gets ... rather 'farmer' gets. If anyone here

does not alreay know what this little tortured baby is called at the market

place .... veal ! Care to look at it ? I get sick thinking about it, let

alone seeing it on the shelves or on some 'marcalled' plate.

 

BTW .... 'suckling pig' .... same basic treatment. Care for " that other white

meat " anyone? care for a good cry?

Re: What a line/dairy question

 

 

I am horrified that the person in the health food store was that ignorant.

 

First of all, milk is quite low in iron, so the reason Morgan went into the

store was definitely not addressed.

 

Second, I live in dairy country. They breed dairy cows to force them to

lactate. Then they take the babies aways from them at birth--they call them

" drop calves " . Since I live in a dairy area, I have heard the " drop calves "

being brought to market to be sold off. They go down the main street of our

city screaming for their mothers. I am sure the mothers are no happier--they

are down on that " happy " farm.

 

I still eat small amounts dairy, but this still bothers me. I try to buy

organic milk products [nonfat milk and nonfat yoghurt] since those producers do

treat their animals slightly better. I used to work with a woman who owned

organically raised dairy cows in our area.

To make sure that the calves for veal have white meat they are deliberately

made anemic - very deliberately, as a strategy. Fact. Anemic, not allowed

enough space to move (to prevent muscles making the veal tough), that's your

veal calf. Pretty sick!
