Yeah I'm a hypocrite as I still love my Beef, chicken, fish etc but I can't come at Lamb, Veal and Pork where it's baby animals on the menu. I'm not manic about it and in some family/friend meal situations I will eat a small portion to be hospitable but will avoid those meats where I can.

The only time I felt uneasy during my brief career as a slaughter man was when the then Premier Dick Hamer sent in a mob of very young calves.  I had to hang down into the crush to reach their heads with the bolt gun.

I rarely eat veal but don’t mind lamb.  When I was a kid, my mum would by “two-tooth” because it was cheaper than lamb.  Tastier too, as the muscle has more time to absorb minerals and compounds from the vegetation.
