Veal is one meat I will not eat. It tastes great, but the price in terms of animal exploitation is too great for me to enjoy it.

But these are the scraps, that would otherwise be thrown away. If you are going to exploit a baby cow, you might as well us it all rather than waste some.

Veal production has come a long way. Crates are no longer used in the UK or in Europe. I figure 9/10 you'd be more ethically justified in eating veal than in having a KFC. And certainly more so than eating non free range pork. Pigs are as intelligent as dogs, and are often factory farmed.

I'd eat veal if I knew where it came from. The only factory farmed meat I buy is for Diz (Sainsbury's Basics chicken wings and legs). And even that troubles my conscience.
