Humanely Raised Rose Veal
Yes, you CAN eat veal again in good conscience.
After the animal rights groups PR campaigns against veal in the 1980's, a lot of folks gave up eating this
delicious meat because they couldn't stomach the thought of sickly calves crammed in crates. Pasty white
milk-fed veal became synonymous with animal cruelty.
Enter the local foods/sustainability movement of the twenty first century.
In reality, if you consume dairy products, especially artisan cheese and milk from small family dairys--even wonderful handcrafted ice cream--you should be eating Rose Veal.
Why?
Dairy cows need to have babies in order to produce milk. The ratio of males to females born is approximate 50%. That means a dairy farm milking 50 cows can produce around 25 calves a year. For many dairy farms, it is not economically feasible to raise dairy breeds as beef so they ship their bull calves off to the auction barn where they are often sold two or more times before reaching a commercial veal operation.
Traditionally, male offspring of pastured dairy cows were left with their mothers until forage became scarce in the fall when they would be harvested, their meat being a light rose color and flavorful thanks to their access to green grass.
Today, you can enjoy the same delicious and healthy fare from calves raised in a humane and natural environment prior to harvest.
