Strained Veal

Although we respect the concept, Niki and I are far from vegetarians. But even we had to pause after looking over a hand-out that Jonas' doctor gave us the other day describing the process of introducing different foods to his diet. There among the sketches of healthy food choices -- images of fruits and vegetables and basic food groups -- was a sketch of a sole jar of baby food. But instead of a jar of pureed carrots or peas, of all the flavors this flier could have selected to highlight, the sketch was a jar of "Strained Veal." We have yet to explore the world of baby food jars and their flavors, but can we not all agree that the veal has it bad enough without needing to be made into baby food, let alone to be strained?
