Obama Administration Bans All Pork Products From Prison Menus
CNSNews ^ | October 9, 2015

Posted on 10/10/2015 7:16:03 AM PDT by george76

The federal Bureau of Prisons, a subdivision of President Barack Obama's Justice Department, has banished all pork products from the menus in all federal prisons ...

The government says it made the decision to do this because a survey showed that inmates do not like eating pork products.

The Council on American-Islamic relations said “we welcome” the move by the government to deny pork to prisoners, but warned that it might spark “Islamophobia.”

...

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

“The National Pork Producers Council isn’t buying it. 'I find it hard to believe that a survey would have found a majority of any population saying, ‘No thanks, I don’t want any bacon,'” said Dave Warner, a spokesman for the Washington-based trade association, which represents the nation’s hog farmers.

CAIR told the Post that banning pork in federal prisons would accommodate Muslim prisoners:

“’In general we welcome the change because it’s facilitating the accommodation of Muslim inmates,’ said Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations

This CNSNews story is BS ...
Verification from other sources is needed.

..... lets compare pork tenderloin and a top sirloin. In an 8-ounce serving, pork has 50 fewer calories, nearly half the fat and saturated fat content and a similar amount of protein.....

If you look at 8 ounces of 90% ground beef, the differences become even more dramatic. When compared to pork, the ground beef has 233 additional calories and 5x the amount of total fat and saturated fat.


The american 'Beef Mafia' at work.
Now they are working for the Mooslims
Bought a T-Bone lately. With Pork being much cheaper than Beef in the Groc store, there is a larger shift to pork.

Why doesn't anyone on this forum believe that I'm the queen of England?

Is this being reported anywhere reputable?

If you read the article, CNS says it is excerpted from the Washington Post.

Wow...as a Christian I choose not eat pork because God commands us not to do so. But this is prison for crying out loud.

I suppose next the military will ban all pork products from their mess halls and use only halal products.

It only makes sense when you are bowing down to the Caliphate everywhere else.

Actually I kind of like where this is going. Does this mean we intend to imprison a large number of Muslims? That's a great idea, when do we start?

I'm not usually one to go for that whole persecution thing of an entire race/religion etc. However, in this case I'm willing to make an exception. Muslims have perpetrated so much violence in the world and exhibited zero tolerance for anyone else...and virtually all the "non radical" Muslims go along either directly or tacitly approving and supporting these actions.

So ok, sign me up. Let's imprison them all, then sort them out for possible release - gitmo style. Sure, this could take years, decades even. Tough. If Muslims don't want to be thought of this way or possibly treated this way - then they should stop supporting all those {expletives} perverting Islam. Then again, maybe that is the real Islam, and Muslims simply deserve to be imprisoned or at least under suspicion and surveillance their entire lives.

Or, it could be more along the lines of adding foot washing sinks to US airports. Incremental muzzie rules kind of shiite. Who knows?

I’ve read that piggy banks are no longer used in England. It offends the ragheads.
