The Baker goes veggie

Today my daughter decided she would become a vegetarian. This decision came about because she is a very good baker. Over the weekend she made waffles from scratch. They were excellent. Yesterday she made brownies. And tonight she made blueberry muffins. Excellent and excellent. We will have to start jogging to keep up with her talent.
So she decides she will cook a complete meal and asked her dad for some ideas. He mentioned veal. So she began her on line search.
Her search yielded the most gruesome articles on cruelty to animals that one could hardly bear to read! And then tonight in our local paper was an article that backed what she had read on line!
It was that simple ~ vegetarian.

These are the articles.

That first article, the book review, was horrendous! That would be enough to make anyone want to stop eating meat until there were enforced standards of decent treatment for animals being used for food.

The second one was bizarre. That's too weird to think about.
