The government won't buy any more pork for prisons which is a hit for pork producers and feed producers.

Washington Post - Finally, the government has decided to eliminate pork — from the menu in federal prisons

"The nation’s pork producers are in an uproar after the federal government abruptly removed bacon, pork chops, pork links, ham and all other pig products from the national menu for 206,000 federal inmates.

"The ban started with the new fiscal year last week.

"The Bureau of Prisons, which is responsible for running 122 federal penitentiaries and feeding their inmates three meals a day, said the decision was based on a survey of prisoners’ food preferences:

"They just don’t like the taste of pork."

I call BS. Guess Hindus aren't insisting on ban of beef. There probably are next to zero Hindu prisoners.
