Enjoy the Veal, Hold the Guilt

Posted Apr 19, 07 3:13 PM CDT in Arts & Living 

(Newser) – Veal is back, says the Times, thanks to humane ranching methods.

Or at least pens where they walk around and mingle with other calves. 

Fans say humane veal tastes better too, and more chefs are embracing the meat at upmarket restaurants. On the other hand, members of the diehard American Veal Association still raise their calves in crates, and say the new stuff shouldn't even be called veal.
