Do prisoners eat better than you?

[TheGardener]

...the hell does "political correctness" have to do with that?

I would expect that you wouldn't see that.

FYI, that does not answer the question. I am going to guess nakedfrog didn't "see that" because his jump to conclusions mat is in the shop. Do enlighten us ignorant folk, please.

 

[OverVolt]

Not too many food selfies in prison eh?

Thus social media has NO IDEA what they eat. Hilarious.

 

[slag]

I'm more interested in the picture perfect foreign food(UK notably absent) that I'd be happy to pay real money for. I don't believe for a second these other countries are serving their kids food that Americans would pay $12 for at a hipster cafe.

That's more than I had for lunch. Is she big boned?

I'm no fan of Obama or his family but what's with all the hate for Michelle's school lunch program? Isn't the failing of the program squarely with the school districts and not her?

no.her school lunch program put in place a series of rules they have to obey. The school is locked into a list and calorie count per lunch it serves. there is very little wiggle room.

Prison food is often past the pull date and on the verge or possibly even past spoiling.

My daughter sends me angry text all the time about lunch. it's always to small and terrible. last week they had 2 small breadsticks, dip and a apple. She was starving when she got home.

About 80% of the time my kids come home starving and complaining about the lunch.

Michelle obama had a good idea. it just was not thought all the way through. these lunch's are far to small. Combine the issue having athletes and kids who this is the main lunch and it misses the mark.


as for the OP post it may sound good. But i would rather eat like I do and not get ass rapped.

Some people are football players and need lots of protein and carbs.

Others are fatties that need to put the fork down and have some chicken with a side of fruit with water.

It totally depends, so entirely revamping a "universal" school lunch is in of itself retarded. Everyone is different.

That said, if your kids are complaining I would totally tell them to start making their own lunch if they don't want to eat shit.

 

[soulcougher73]

Sounds good, but if it looks anything like the food from Orange is the new Black than no thanks lol

 

[Merad]

I hate to break it to you guys but just because a menu lists items that sound normal and appetizing does not mean that the food is actually good quality. My mom used to volunteer teaching a class for several months a year at a nearby prison and the topic of food came up quite a bit, because the highlight of each year's class was an end of year meal that the prison let them bring in for the guys in the class. If prisoners eat better than you it's your own fault for putting zero effort into your meals, because that's a pretty damn low bar.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

It's all about Muslim appeasement. It's total horse shit that these fed fuckers say prisoners don't want pork. I bet my bottom dollar most prisoners would love a pork chop.

Can't balme Obozo for growing up in Indonesia and going to Jeremiah Wright's church.

your bottom dollar is in the g-string of some 50 year old stripper. you're a fucking moron johnny.

 

[clamum]

Uh, lookin at that menu, yeah most likely. Almost all of my food is shitty: processed/microwavable or fast food. I eat a rather balanced, for the most part, diet but it is nearly completely comprised of processed foods.

When I took the school food or prison food quiz, I only got 4 right out of 14:

Telling the difference is seriously hard.

The Obamas have been failures at most everything they meddle in:

The School Nutrition Association and its 55,000 member food service professionals sent a clear message to Congress about the state of the nation’s cafeteria offerings to kids: First lady Michelle Obama’s regulations have got to go, they said.

In a 2015 Position Paper, the SNA suggested Congress amend the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 — so kids aren’t so hungry, EAG.org reported. Basically, the organization requested lawmakers to take a second look at the law and loosen some of the calorie, fat and sodium regulations. Perhaps then, the group argued, more children would go back to buying school lunches.

“USDA data shows that since the new rules were implemented, 1.4 million fewer children choose school lunch each day,” EAG.org reported. “Declining student participation reduces meal program revenue for schools already stressed by higher food and labor costs under the new regulations.”

SNA also said the federal lunch regulations were also proving costly to taxpayers.

“USDA estimates the new rules add $1.2 billion to the cost of preparing school meals in Fiscal Year 2015 alone,” the report says, EAG.org reported. “As a result, only half of school meal program operators anticipate their programs will break even at the end of this school year, according to a recent SNA survey.”

They're locked into a calorie count but otherwise the food they provide can be anything. In this case, the schools have such a pathetic menu of food that is why you have those absurd portions because that food is calorie dense and unhealthy. When they implemented the law, instead of changing the types of food they have on their school cafeteria menu, all they did was peddle the same garbage while reducing the portion sizes to meet the law. That's stupid and obviously bound to fail!

There is no good reason why schools should be in the child feeding business anyway. It's not a restaurant or a psych hospital, it's a school that should get the basics right before they attempt something like mashed potatoes.

Prisoners should get seeds and water and lube but that's it. It's a prison, not a school.

Not sure what you mean there.

If you mean they shouldn't be treating feeding children at school as a business to make money out of I agree.
If you mean they shouldn't be feeding children I disagree.

I wish social media was more prevalent back when I was in school so I could post the crap they fed us. I pretty much never bought lunch back then and waited til I got home to eat.

It's ignorance like this that makes me support totalitarianism.

 

[MongGrel]

Can't speak to prison food. But if it is any worse than the Ham and Mothers that the US Army fed me, the prisoners have my sympathy.

Uno

B's would really be old school.

Go go C Rats.

Need some Bolton Biscuits, and a John Wayne to open em up with.

Used to come with about 5 cigarettes also at one time. but maybe not.

*edit* my bad, was the accessory pack with it that had 9.

Buncha whiners

 

[MongGrel]

Weird I can't even find a reference to those crackers, they came with the later C Rats standard.

I guess there is a reference to crackers, but not what I remember them being called.

If we turn our prisons into zoos and treat the prisoners like animals, that's all they are going to be when eventually released back into society.

Acting like animals to begin with is how a lot of the got there.

You have a point, but it works both ways, are no easy solutions.

Yeah, it's the First lady's fault too! That shit ain't right. I never had garbage like that in school. Bitch is outta her fucking mind.
