When I was a kid I enjoyed eating veal when my mother cooked it, and I would order it at a restaurant as a teenager on a date from time to time.  Then I found out how veal made its way from baby cow to the table and I was mortified!  I haven’t eaten veal in probably 40 years now!  Recently I’ve been driving in a rural area and noticed all of the cattle grazing in their pastures and realized that I could not see any of the veal crates that used to be so prevalent.  I wondered if the farmers had simply moved them from easy view!  I just was doing some “google” research on veal and found out that many farmers have changed their evil ways and now let the veal calves stay out in the pastures with the other cattle instead of confining them in crates.  I think that is a much more humane approach to treating calves!  I don’t know if I’ll ever eat veal again, but I am glad to learn that more farmers are treating their calves more humanely - at least until they are slaughtered!
