Something tells me it probably doesnt meet your nutritional needs either. I imagine it is lacking a lot of micronutrients and/or doesnt have them in a bioavailable form.

I've heard that prisons design meals that use lots or soy in theory to lower agression in inmates which can cause poor health outcomes. Although I've never seen any evidence that men shouldn't eat soy based diets, considering half the world's population uses it as a main source of protein this is probably bullcrap. https://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/12/us/soy-diet-is-cruel-and-unusual-florida-inmate-claims.html https://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/12/us/soy-diet-is-cruel-and-...

  it would not surprise me thought that the type of person designing this sort of prison food would believe the whole "soyboy" myth.

  People also get yoked in prison so there must be enough calories and protein available in the meals to allow for that sort of muscle building and maintenance.

Ingredients include carrots, cabbage, kidney beans, potatoes, dairy, and poultry, all blended up and baked. Sounds reasonably nutritious.

  Probably more nutritious than the food most people in poverty are eating. I love cooking and love eating new things but I absolutely hate having to figure out what to eat everyday without just resorting to crappy and expensive take out or fast food. Sometimes I just want to eat something without having to think about it and without eating something that will make me feel bad. I'd love to have a human equivalent of dog food to eat when I'm feeling lazy. A nutraloaf with a bit of salt and seasonings probably wouldn't be too bad. It's not a ribeye, loaded baked potato, and Caesar salad but it has all of your nutrients and about as close to whole food as you can get without actually being whole food. It could be sold frozen or in retort pouches (cooked in the pouch) or you could just make your own and freeze it.

  I dont doubt it provides some nutrition I doubt that it provides fully complete nutrition.
