I can understand your objection to the food. Fine. While (reasonably) according to the USDA they are not allowed under the “naturally raised” terminology, but certainly they can be "organic" if they are not being injected with hormones and other adulterants. Ask yourself if you lived in Roman or Egyptian times, could you produce foie gras? Yes. They did and if you followed the same practices today it would be organic. There are much worse things in my opinion - halal and kosher, for instance. Slitting an animal's throat while upside down while trying to bleed it out (intentionally) is inhuman compared to braining it. Naturally raised veal could be humane and no worse than lamb or eating other young animals. nytimes.com
