Fun with Veal - Recap

Ms. Choksondik's 4th grade class goes on a trip to the farm, where the children discover that veal is made from baby calves that are starved and tied up so that the meat is extra tender. The boys are horrified (except Cartman) and vow to save the calves from certain death. The other boys are able to convince Cartman to help them smuggle the calves out and bring them to Stan's house where he barricades the door. He says they're not coming out until they have guarenteed safety of the calves.

The situation becomes a standoff when the police arrive, demanding that the boys come out. They survive off of food smuggled into them from Mrs. Cartman (mostly beef jerky and fried chicken). The boys begin eating, but Stan refuses to, claiming that he'll never eat meat again. He will only eat the apples. Cartman calls him a pussy for not eating meat, and mysterious sores begin to break out all over Stan's body.

The boys manage to outwit an FBI negotiator by acquiring heavy weaponry, getting the FDA to change the word veal to "tortured baby cow meat," and getting a ride out in a cattle truck driven by Michael Dorn. Also, during the ride, Dorn will be in full makeup as Worf and is required to call Cartman, "Captain." They begin driving toward Mexico so that they can escape and be free.

The plan quickly becomes a double cross, but the calves are saved. It turns out that no one wants to eat, "tortured baby cow meat," so there is no longer a market for the product. It turns out that Cartman was right about Stan not eating meat and becoming a pussy. The sores on his face were actually tiny vaginas which would eventually turn him into one big giant pussy. The boys get grounded, but everybody goes out for hamburgers.
