Yet in Europe and North America, there is growing concern about the ethics of the way meat and eggs are produced. The consumption of veal has fallen sharply since it became widely known that to produce so-called “white” – actually pale pink – veal, newborn calves are separated from their mothers, deliberately made anemic, denied roughage, and kept in stalls so narrow that they cannot walk or turn around.
全球肉类消费量预计到2020年将增加一倍。然而，在欧洲和南美，人们越来越担心肉蛋生产方式中的伦理问题。为了生产所谓的“白色”实际上是淡粉色的小牛肉，饲养场将新生小牛与母牛分开，故意使之贫血，不饲喂粗饲料，圈养在狭窄的牛圈里，无法行走或转身。大众知道这一情况后，小牛肉的消费量锐减。
