    A Better Way to Buy Veal

    With the growing availability of grass-fed, humanely raised beef, free-range chicken, and sustainable seafood, being socially conscious without sacrificing flavor has never been easier. And now, you can add veal to your feel-good grocery list because one of America's largest veal producers has abandoned the practice of calf confinement. In addition to having an exceptional taste and texture, Strauss Free Raised veal comes from pasture-raised calves whose breed originates from a centuries-old French heritage stock. Raised without cages, antibiotics, or manufactured liquid feed, calves roam freely and have unlimited access to natural grasses and mother's milk. To ensure quality and food safety, all meat is traceable to the American family farm where it originated. Available at select Whole Foods Markets; check freeraised.com for more stores.

      Wow, thanks yahoo! A nicer way to eat baby animals? Awesome.

      Why is it okay to eat because it is "humanely" raised? The calf is still slaughtered without thought or conscience. And whole foods is a f*cking joke.

      Or, maybe, just don't buy veal. Poor baby cows.

      VS 9 what is vegan meat? Meat is an animal product!
    • Appletini  •  2 years 3 months ago
      I'm not a vegan but I don't eat calf or lamb cuz its just so wrong.
      I generally eat poultry, fish and eggs, dislike tofu because I don't get it, and no I am not an extremist.
      Besides, it is still really expensive to purchase meat in general. Red meat costs a small fortune and I don't buy any of that Angus beef or Buffalo either.
      Instead of hamburger, I buy ground turkey and it doesn't have any of those hard chewy bits or extra fat that must be drained from the pan.

      I loooove the babies! You have no idea how happy, how delighted I am to learn about this. If you eat meat at all, you'll no longer be able to look down on those of us who eat veal! If you eat chicken or farmed fish you're a hypocrite to criticize others who eat lamb. While I would feel better if these were kosher (as I do feel we've got the humane killing down), I don't think these are being "slaughtered without thought ot conscience" -- isf they're making the efforts described, there's clearly thought AND conscience, just not ones that you agree with. (You don't mind using curses in your post. PErhaps I view that as being thoughtless and without conscience!)
      I hate Mr. Whole Foods but I'll be heading there to pick me up some veal real soon.

      This is preposterous and I am hugely disappointed in Bon Appetit for spreading propaganda that it's now ok to eat baby cows. It's NEVER humane. Get over it.
      Try some healthy vegan meat and have a really clean conscience.

      Seriously? I guess people can eat a baby animal with a clean conscience now.

      I actually went out and bought this veal from Whole Foods after reading it and I must say that it was beyond delicious. I applaud Bon Appetit for writing about this because it’s something that I, as one of their readers, was happy to learn about. I tended to shy away from veal before because I had the image of a cow in crate in my head but now that I know Strauss is against that I will be eating a lot more veal. I think also (for those of you who are calling veal “baby cow”) that a veal cow is raised longer than a chicken or a pig so it’s not really a “baby”. My final point about why I am happy about this product is that it’s traceable back to the AMERICAN family farm that it was raised. I am thrilled to be supporting any American business in this day and age. Especially the family farmers who have been suffering financially for so long. Thank you Strauss Free Raised.
