Free Range Veal

LaureltheQueen · Post by **LaureltheQueen** » Thu Dec 29, 2005 9:57 pm

So I was watching food network, and the Sara Moulton is making pasta sauce using veal shanks. She says "if you have any concerns, you could always use free range veal." I'll repeat that one more time free range veal.

So, I get on the pc and do a quick google search before posting something online and learning that there's some great humane way to grow veal and that I am a moron. Here's what I found.
http://www.dumbentia.com/pdflib/freerange.pdf

"What is Free Range Veal? We’re glad you asked.
Like regular veal, it comes from milk-fed calves raised
in personal living spaces. Unlike regular veal, however,
a Free Range calf is let out of it’s pen for several
minutes a week to romp and play in the sunlight. He
can wander where ever he wants, far and wide, until
he is led back to his warm, snuggly pen. For a calf
destined to become veal, you might say that
it’s a dream come true."

"Each of our calves is individually
named by a cute little eight-year old
farmboy, so you know it was loved."

Maybe I'm the only person who finds this amusing, but I'm laughing my ass off

They should feed it beer and call it wondering the free range drunk Kobe veal.

Warm snuggly pen my ass. They mean the hotter than hell calf hutch he is tethered to by a 3 or 4 ft leash. I still can't decide which is worse, the modern factory farming life or disassembly line death where they are lucky if they are unconscious before anything else is done.

I consider veal production animal cruelty...

And I don't like animal cruelty!!!

All factory farming, especially for slaughter, is cruel. The big cows don't have it any better than the little ones. Or the chickens. Or pigs or turkeys...

I'm thinking of writing a book based on the industrial farm next door to a friend of mine in upstate NY that he's battling in court. Settlement should be coming relatively soon. These people are among the lowest scum man has created. They are not farmers! Real farmers try to keep a balance - these people make PG&E look like philanthropist members of the ELF. The head of it used to run a bank. His son makes meth out of the chemicals. They killed an old woman by systematically dumping chemicals across from her when she complained. They'd clean it up before their pocketed cops called them before coming out to check. They 'accidentally' dumped 3 million gallons of animal waste in the river and killed all the fish. Finally, the sportsmen complained and someone started to listen. I could go on about the kids in the local schools with learning disabilities traced back to the toxins or the harassment and attempted drug framing of my friend, but I'll save it for the book. And the government subsidizes it all.

Hey 1980 called and they want there stupid veal dish back. Using veal in the restaurant biz is so out dated and faux-pas anyways, hardly any body uses it any more. Its still popular in crapy italien food restaurant like olive garden.

My favorite meat is free-range.

Venison. Its one of the best red meats for you. It has no marble fat. All the fat can be trimmed off, which you do anyways because it has a really gamy taste.

But yeah, there's nothing like some boneless venison chops done right. (runs to the freezer....)

Near Ithaca, I believe, but that may be where his other house is (the one he has to stay in so his kid's learning disability doesn't become a worse irreversible impairment).
