So before I go to prison, I should earnestly develop a sincere desire for, say, pancakes every day, then it'd count? I understand that law interpreters are not mindless robots. However it seems very arbitrary to support kosher and halal, but not Pastafarian diets. It's as silly as only granting conscientious objector status to "real" Mennonites.

As soon as you develop an honest and genuine belief that your moral system requires you to eat pancakes, I'll consider the notion that prisons should be required to serve you shitty, leathery pancakes. The thing is, you're not going to do that, and neither is anyone else. Policy should not be guided by ridiculous hypotheticals.
