Hate the guy, pretty much, but tbh if it's true this isn't okay.
No what's not okay is that they aren't forcing him it eat meat against his will. This is prison, not a vacation, he needs to be punished not catered to.
Why not?
Because jail isn't supposed to be there to torture and hurt people
Oh please, the article says he can get vegetarian already, and they are looking into providing vegan.
The guy is in prison, not at the Ritz.
I'm losing my mind in this comment section.
Vegan =/= Vegetarian
Basic access to a diet appropriate to each individual =/= Luxury
Being guilty of a crime =/= Being less human than the people you love
How does it look like I don't know the difference, when I state they are actually looking into providing Vegan instead of just vegetarian?
As a vegan you can take the vegetarian option and cut out the things that are not vegan. No need to eat just bread.
Also Vegan is 100% political ideology, and quite honestly, prison is not a political platform.
So I'm losing my mind that people here apparently means he deserves special treatment to please his personal whims.
If as others have mentioned, it was a health issue it would be different, but it isn't.
On an other note, the guy is a narcissist, and would do whatever for attention.
I think I see where you're coming from! It's actually a common misconception that you can easily transform vegetarian meals into vegan ones. Every vegan has different needs, and a prison menu has unique challenges. They often serve packaged items or things like stew, which you can't remove ingredients from.
And I think you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who is a vegan for "political" reasons. No one is asking for a platform here, they're asking for food.
Do I like this person? No.
Are they a person? Yes.
That's the key point that I think is getting lost in many of the comments here. I would never fault someone for being massively angry about what FTX did.
How is this torture? He isn't starving, and he doesn't have to eat gross or questionable food. If a vegan diet was a medical requirement, both his lawyers and the media would've milked it dry, but they didn't, which tells me that vegan food is only a preference.
And people who have been on a vegan diet long enough can get really sick if they are made to suddenly switch.
