Five straight turkey dinners prompted El Paso County jail inmates to go on a brief hunger strike. The inmates refused to eat Saturday, arguing that meals such as turkey chili mac, turkey a la king, turkey stew and turkey sausage were unnecessarily cruel.
Sheriff's officials said Wednesday that the hunger strike ended after about half an hour.
"Turkey, turkey and more turkey is not a form of punishment," the Sheriff's Office said in a tongue-in-cheek prepared statement. "The inmates accepted this reasoning and gobbled up their dinner meal."The inmates had spaghetti for dinner Wednesday with turkey-based meat sauce.
HA! The good ol days of a case of Ramen a week. 3 squares a day... mmmmmm.. tasty ;) /sarcasm
"arguing that meals such as turkey chili mac, turkey a la king, turkey stew and turkey sausage were unnecessarily cruel."
And in other news, the National Turkey Growers Federation has file suit against certain inmates at the El Paso detention facility for defamation of a food product.
Guess they got the authorities to talk turkey, huh?
Oh it's a funny world isn't it ?

Alert Senator Durbin.
A week of Spam should cure their turkey overload.
I'll never forget the ramen noodles era of my life.
Man...What I wouldn't give for a turkey sandwich with mayo and a bowl of stuffing right now. Alas, it's tuna again.

Let them eat NARAL by-products. NARAL will say it's not cannibalism...just tissue.
/EXTREME sarcasm & Swift BUMP
(pardon me while I retch at the truth about NARAL.)

That's about how much sympathy I have for these whiners...
They inmates, and they are not dining in a five-star restaurant. They're griping about turkey chili mac and turkey a la king? Many times during my army career I would have traded my cold C-ration or MRE for a hot meal like that!
I have found the two greatest condiments to make any food tasty..
1. Hunger
2. Gratitude
I bet those people they robbed, raped, and killed would rather eat turkey for a week rather than be dead, raped, or robbed.
Give em Spam!!!!
Spam omelet
Spam a la king
Spam benedict
Spam & cheese sandwich.......
That will fix em.

What? Do they think the El Paso detention certer is Club Gitmo?
