For a cheap cycle, eat veal ![Big grin :D :D](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png)
The government has cracked down on the meat industry after a study revealed that 90 percent of U.S. veal calves were being fed synthetic testosterone illegally. Although officials from the veal industry claimed that calves have been fed growth hormones for decades, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials said this practice has never been legal or tested for safety. After the discovery of a hormone-releasing implant in a Wisconsin calf, the Department of Agriculture has placed a stop upon hormone-induced veal calves from entering the food supply.
Statistics have shown that each year, 700,000 calves are slaughtered at 20 weeks of age. The hormone, trenbolone acetate, has been used legally to accelerate the growth in adult cattle, however has not been approved for use in calves.
It hasnt been determined that the hormone is harmful to people who consume veal and the exact number of calves that are being held back until approval by the FDA remains unknown.
