I just wonder what chicken and “dumpings” taste like.

The funny thing about many vegetarian meals is how they always try to recreate meat in vegetable format. Seems a little hypocritical.

Most vegetarians I’ve known are not uppity about it, but you meet a few that spoil it for everybody else.

“Good grief. Have you people completely given up on the idea of rehabilitation? ”

Yes. But don’t let the decades of proof shatter your rose colored fantasy world.

Wow there are some stupid people in the Vegan comunity, but no one is disputing that.

No laws against meat or fur.

i see lots of reference to veggies and legumes, some dairy. No reference to meat.

People who eat meat = rednecks?
I refuse to fall for your kneejerk reaction inducing comment. Thats terribly trollish of you Jamie.

Kerozene: Meat makes farts stink waaaayyy worse than vegetables and fruits do. I am surprised I have to tell anyone this.
Also, vegetables and fruits only make the people who don’t get enough fiber in their diet gaseous. Fiber is a type of carb.
Also, as the people who eat the most meat are fat rednecks , being a vegetarian or vegan is much cooler (and hotter.)

Good grief. Have you people completely given up on the idea of rehabilitation? I should think you’d be happy at the thought that some prisoners want to do some good in the world while they’re incarcerated.

The best thing you can do, by the way, to fight global warming is to stop eating meat. The meat industry puts more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere than all the motorized vehicles in the world.

While you’re thinking about this, educate yourselves on the cruelty of factory farming methods, animal transport realities and what REALLY happens in slaughterhouses. Animals are sentient beings who suffer and feel pain the same way we do. Perhaps it’s even worse for them because they cannot possibly understand what is happening to them and why.

Yes, I know. Some animals kill other animals for food. And when I’m willing to kill another animal with my own teeth and claws and eat it on the spot, then I’ll eat meat too.

Stick with stale bread and water. Its vegan.

Oh and to Jamie: Carbs are what give people gas. Veggies make you gassy. Beans make you gassy. Meat does NOT make you gassy since its protein… sooo whats this you’re saying about smelly?

lets give cons a better lifestyle in jail than in the “real world”, more incentive again to stay in jail

p.s. veggies aren’t cheap anymore

Well I think that all prisons should be vegetarian, it’d be cheaper for the taxpayers.

If you think vegetarian/vegan food is “terrible-tasting,” you’ve never had any that was half-way decent. I’ve been a vegetarian for almost 4 years and I can assure you, I could make you a veggie chikin’ and dumpings that would definitely change your mind. And I could kick your smelly, omnivorous arse.

I think it’s a good idea. Serve them crappy tasting food and they’ll try harder not to come back.

I think being a vegetarian in prison would just make you a target.
