I don't know why it's OK to eat beef but it's not OK to eat veal. Adult or child, you're still killing the animal and eating it. I don't see why it's more just to kill an cow than a calf. Is it because the cow can "handle" it better? It's not like he has a chance to enjoy the repercussions of a death he could better withstand.
I had veal for dinner and it tasted good. And yet the whole time, I still had some reservations putting forkful and forkful of perfectly encrusted lemon-infused veal Milanese into my mouth, because there was something mildly disturbing about eating a younger cow. I went online and did a little bit of research; then talked to a few friends and asked what their position was on veal consumption. And what I have to conclude is that the whole hullabaloo is psychological. You shouldn't kill any animals and eat them; and if you somehow do, I think at that point the distinction between adult and child is moot.
I had similar issues today eating anchovy, but it was sort of more because it smelled really freaking fishy and yet didn't taste that way. It seems like every sense except taste seems to govern my diet.
