His choosing to be vegan is like my choosing to only eat white meat and fish (along with the usual vegetarian fare). Should I be able to get that if I knowingly break the law and go to jail? They can only do so much for a person. They have a kitchen that makes food for EVERYONE. It isn't to-order. I do agree 100% that conditions in our prison system are beyond atrocious. They are so so awful. I just have a hard time believing wherever he is sitting is one of those worse-off places. He can eat some damn meat in jail. He's being an entitled prick.

Are people who demand kosher and halal food entitled pricks? My parents did not eat meat/seafood/poultry, and I was not given any either. As a result, I have a severe distaste for meat/seafood/poultry, I even find the smell makes me gag. Should I be forced to eat meat/seafood/poultry in prison to get my protein needs, just because I do not adhere to a tribe with sufficient political power to force an exception?

No, you can eat peanut butter bread like SBF. Or ideally, realize earlier that you aren’t really cut out for the prison system due to your dietary needs and not commit the financial crimes.

  No. SBF is an entitled prick. And if you are worried about your dietary needs not being met in prison, then don't do shit that lands you in prison? What is this questioning?

    I did not opine on SBF. I was specifically responding to the veracity of this claim, as quoted in my original post: >I think when you go to prison, in addition to giving up your freedom of movement, you give up your dietary preferences. To which the response was to show that some people do not have to give up some dietary preferences, due to their tribal affiliations. For example: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-03-19-me-36098-story.html https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-03-19-me-36098-... As for: >And if you are worried about your dietary needs not being met in prison, then don't do shit that lands you in prison? Innocent people also end up in prison.
