Convicts Complain About Prison Food

So, what else is new?

In prisons throughout the state of Washington, Muslim inmates are being fed vegetarian diets because they won't eat meat unless it has been slaughtered in a proscribed manner. As a result of inmate complaints, state courts are looking at lawsuits from convicts demanding "halal" (religiously approved) food.

Muslim inmates, who comprise 4 percent of the prison population, have expressed a particular lack of fondness for a diet of leaves and grasses.

I wonder where the vegetarians are on this issue. Customarily, they don't allow criticism of their food ideology to go unchallenged.
