Does he think the non-vegan food is actually better? He's not going to get Michelin star meals, he's going to get the bare minimum necessary. It's jail.
Yeah, I’d expect it to be largely unseasoned beans and rice, or lentils. Basically whatever is nutritionally complete (except enough calories, those cost extra), dirt cheap, and fulfills dietary restrictions.
Now if he wants to campaign for better prison food, I totally support that and he should join IWOC (Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee, it works with the IWW) to fight for it. He’s gonna be in there a long time and he does have power and voice that many in there don’t. If he uses it for all prisoners then good on him, if he only uses it for himself then he can go fuck himself.
Yeah, I have more issues with the fact that most people don't have access to any of that (provided it can't be use to run a crime network on the outside or whatever).
