gwiz665says...That's just.. accurate.
BoneRemakesays...As per WIkipedia :
There are five types of veal:
* Bob veal, from calves that are slaughtered when only a few days old (70-150 lb.) up to 150 lb.[2]
* Formula-fed (or "milk-fed") veal, from calves that are raised on a milk formula supplement. The meat colour is ivory or creamy pink, with a firm, fine, and velvety appearance. They are usually slaughtered when they reach 18–20 weeks of age (450-500 lb).[3]
* Non-formula-fed ("red" or "grain-fed")[4] veal, from calves that are raised on grain, hay, or other solid food, in addition to milk. The meat is darker in colour, and some additional marbling and fat may be apparent. Usually marketed as calf, rather than veal, at 22–26 weeks of age (650-700 lb).
* Rose veal UK is from calves reared on farms in association with the UK RSPCA's Freedom Food programme. Its name comes from its pink colour, which is a result of the calves being slaughtered at around 35 weeks.[5]
* Free-raised veal, The veal calves are raised in the pasture, have unlimited access to mother’s milk and pasture grasses. They are not administered hormones or antibiotics. These conditions replicate those used to raise authentic pasture-raised veal. The meat is a rich pink color. Free-raised veal are typically lower in fat than other veal.[citation needed] Calves are slaughtered at about 24 weeks of age.
The veal industry's support for the dairy industry goes beyond the purchase of surplus calves. It also buys large amounts of milk by-products. Almost 70% of veal feeds (by weight) are milk products. Most popular are whey and whey protein concentrate (WPC), by-products of the manufacture of cheese. Milk by-products are sources of protein and lactose. Skimmed milk powder, casein, buttermilk powder and other forms of milk by-products are used from time to time.[6]

I wanted to know a little bit more. Found the video to be funny, very crude.
acidSpinesays...There's an episode of River Cottage where Hugh checks out veal. The question is what do you do with male dairy calves. I never thougt about it before but it's a sad reality of economics
acidSpinesays...Well I watched the videos and the jokes were lame. Fox could have left out the crickets to much the same effect. I have a feeling half of Fox's viewers are people who hate Fox and just want to be outraged, and they don't disappoint.
