[Avodah] Baal Nefesh in the Igeros Moshe

[Ben Waxman via Avodah]

I don't have it open in front of me, but IIRC, in his psak on eating 
veal RMF makes it very, very clear that the baal nefesh will not eat it 
and anyone who does is (to use my words) walking on thin ice.  The way 
he relates to a baal nefesh in the CY issue (it is a nice thing to do 
but if you don't keep, no big deal) vs the veal issue (you really 
shouldn't be eating this stuff) is stark.
