Inmates, industry decry feds pulling pork from menus

The Federal Bureau of Prisons is going whole hog in cutting pork from its menu.

With this month’s start of fiscal year 2016, there will be no bacon, no pork chops, no pork roast, no pork sausage — no pork-related food at all — served to the nation’s 205,723 federal inmates, including those at FCI Fort Worth or FMC Carswell.

While there have been grumblings from some inmates’ family members that the prohibition had to do with Muslim or Jewish dietary restrictions, Bureau of Prisons spokesman Ed Ross said that isn’t the case.

Official says decision was not made to appease Muslim inmates

No, no, nothing to see here; besides islam is the religion of peace.

Anyone not think this rule originated at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave?

I cook bacon every morning...and I live in an apartment complex...

If I knew that a muslim lived near me and complained, I would hang ham butts on my patio...and I would cook bacon 24-7 and have a wreath on my front door of a pig’s head...

That’s how much I disapprove of the disgusting morons

If I ran a prison, it would be “All Pork All the Time”.

Pork is half the cost of beef.

I don’t think Muslims should be imprisoned, period. It’s disrespectful.

I think instead they should have their right hands and left feet amputated. Or else (or plus) they should be flogged publicly. And then for the more egregious crimes, they should be stoned, crucified or thrown from the roofs of five-story buildings.

In this way, we can show the world how multicultural and appreciative of diversity we are.

I’d bet you’re right. We’re being systematically, FUNDAMENTALLY transformed. Muslims first, the “black culture” next, then illegal Hispanics. White people nor their culture are welcome here any more. Just their tax dollars.

But let’s offend 90% to appease the 10%... Now THAT makes sense.

Well, now, the eating of pork (or simply offering the pork) should be included in the penance that Muslim prisoners have to pay as part of their sentence to be served. The serving of pork would not be cruel or unusual punishment, as prohibited in the 8th Amendment of the Bill of Rights, as the person to whom it is served could always refuse to touch it.

The prisoner has always had the option of a hunger strike.

Inch by inch. One reg at a time. One small step. Then the next. And the next.

That is a similar strategy the progressives used. It took them nearly a century, but they now are in charge.

Muslims are following a similar playbook. Inch by inch. One reg at a time ...

Pork is cheaper than beef—this is an obvious lie.

It certainly can not be an economic issue. Pork is less expensive by at least 50% than beef and is close to or lower in cost to Chicken. It is a highly useful protein and fat rich food product that adds a great deal of versatility to cooking with low cost and high yield.

It is ALL to do with Islam PERIOD!
