I’d easily believe that conspiracy. Now I’m finding it impossible to find bone-in chicken breasts at the supermarket - even Wegman’s is no longer selling them. What’s that about? Meat cooked without the bone has no flavor. And American chicken needs all the flavor it can get!

I haven’t thought of the Wizard of Id in years! How funny it was. Thanks for reminding me.

Yes, that is nonsense, isn’t it? Pork is a bargain right now.

Why aren’t these people being served peanut butter sandwiches or tuna sandwiches?

Pork is Federal Civil Service’s life blood.

The above link takes you to the USDA website page which shows that the overall consumption of pork has remained virtually unchanged since 1950. That is why the people knew that this ban was a big thumping lie from the beginning.

The chart is down a ways on page three

all prisoners really need is a bowl of rice and some water

I don’t want my tax dollars paying for prisoners eating something as good as pork.

I would add bread and potatoes.

I was unaware that our prisons actually conduct surveys on prisoners' menu preferences. I don't believe they would reject bacon - most prisoners, except the Bernie Madoff types, just aren't a brie and caviar crowd.

The US prisons system should serve pork roast twice a week and bacon for breakfast twice a week. Those days the Muzzies can eat their halal peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
