# C'est magnifique!
On the subject of lamb...

Why is it that most people (who eat meat) are quite fine with the idea of eating sheep that are less than 12 months old i.e. lamb, but at the same time are morally opposed to eating cows that are less than 12 months old i.e. veal?

# it's not the age that counts it's the way they're treated
Lambs spend their lives gambolling on fields in the sunshine.

Veal-calves spend their lives locked in a crate unable to move.

# ^ this
I'm also quite confused, though, as to why we don't eat mutton in the UK. It's bloody gorgeous, and we don't get to eat it!
