Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Veal is among the beef choices of the American consumer. It is meat from a calf that weighs about 150 pounds. Baby beef, beef from young cattle weighing about 700 pounds, has been raised mainly on milk and grass. Grain fed is a third American option for beef. It is the kind sold most often in the grocery store. There is growing demand for the fourth option: grass-fed beef. A fifth option for beef in the United States is natural beef. This beef is from animals never given growth promotants, antibiotics, or animal by-products. A sixth and final beef option is certified organic beef. As its name suggests, it comes from animals fed certified organic feed.
