Pamela Anderson asks New York Gov Cuomo to put prisoners on a vegan diet to save $2 million a year
Daily Mail ^ | 3/09/16 | Ashley Collman

Pamela Anderson wants to cut the cheese - and meat - out of New York prisoners' diets.

The Baywatch beauty wrote an open letter to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday, on behalf of PETA, suggesting that he make all prison meals vegan.

The famous vegetarian says that the diet switch could save the state millions, and she even offered to visit a penitentiary to cook for the inmates if he takes up her offer, as she did last year for a prison in Arizona.

For quick ROI of 2 million in under a year, this is an extremely viable option that provides the satisfaction of large savings, a nutritious dietary option and acts as a punitive measure along with the actual incarceration.

Really, it's a good suggestion. Well done job Pam, even if it is a broken clock type of idea, it is a darn good idea.

I thought it was a good idea until I read the word PETA. It’s a lefty institution and any policies coming from it is not in mans best interest.

Putting the convicts on a vegetarian diet may seem harmless, but when the lefties are at it the rule of unexpected consequences usually plays out to be very bad.

Wanna save money, have them raise their own food. This is not a new idea. Want to save more money reverse our leftist culture and there will be fewer convicts.

I have in fact met such people...their diet consists mainly of seeds; the comedian Dick Gregory was one such individual, I believe...

I bet she can get Arpaio to do it. Prisoners are coddled.

Of course, most of these animal rights people who want to be kind to animals and who hate big evil corporations worship the “right” to abort a human and they are happy that Planned Parenthood sells body parts of the children it killed.

So, putting the criminals on a vegan diet will save 2 million per year.

How about the effect of veggies on the digestive system and the huge increase in the costs of providing massive increases in the purchases of toilet paper in response to the massive increase in “pooping” due to a vegetable diet?
