But Marshall, 20, accused of eco-sabotage and housed in the Justice Center jail, may not eat much of his Thanksgiving dinner. Since he was put in jail Aug. 31, he has asked for vegan meals: no meat, eggs or dairy.

Jail officials, however, have turned him down.

Nice call to the jail officials. Prison is for punishment.

See, I'd have asked for a meat-only diet.

Meat like this:

I was puzzled about the origin of the word 'vegan' so I did some research. It is an old Indian word that means 'poor hunter'.

So I am curious, do any vegans survive to old age on this diet?

Kinda. They survive but by and large they are no longer vegans. The longer they live the more likely it is that their "vegan lifestyle" becomes more and more bizarre and detailed until an event gets them properly diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder, which had been masked / expressed via the excessive ritualistic behaviors associated with eating.

We're a meat based society

Hey stupid, we are a "meat-based" species. Check those sharp and pointy teeth in the front of your mouth. Those ain't for eating tofu and lettuce.

The ones that stick to the diet are the ones that never grow up. We sometimes call them liberals.
