    I just read the exact same headline about prison food. Assuming that’s because 80% of food in Magastan is ultra-processed, I guess we’re gonna get the same headline for every possible institution now over the coming days.

      For prisons, my fellow Americans immorally view prisoners as less than human and not deserving of the basic elements of life – poll a large swath of everyday Americans and I’m convinced 6+/10 will agree that prisons should serve intentionally unpleasant and non nutritious food as part of the punishment process. It’s sad.

        I think that’s a global trend of humanity falling for populists, and morally back into the stone age (although I might be doing prehistoric humans injustice here). I really believe in the saying (paraphrasing because I don’t recall the exact wording) that if you want to assess the degree of civilization in a society, you should look how it treats its prison inmates.
