How Old are the Animals You Eat?

Here’s how I became “HumanWikipedia.” I hate not knowing something. When I come across a bit of information I have no clue about, I tend to go out and research it until I’m satisfied. The other day I was eating a gyro and I got to thinking about the difference between types of meat – why is it so taboo to eat veal, but apparently normal to eat lamb – and if lamb is really a young sheep or just the name for the meat from any sheep.
