MIXING THE YUMMY INGREDIENTS

This is hilarious because I will never have to eat it! A certain type of prison food is offered to unruly inmates and it looks disgusting. It's supposed to look like real meat-loaf and a Florida Senator actually tasted it to determine if it was offensive. I really don't care if it tastes bad because we pay for it with our tax payer money.

Slate.com reports, that inmates are upset and suing over this loaf.

Prisoners in Illinois, Maryland, Nebraska, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, and West Virginia, among other states, have sued over Nutraloaf or its equivalent. The latest court to hear a Nutraloaf case is the Vermont Supreme Court, where prisoners argued that Vermont's use of the loaf violated their due process rights. (In Vermont, the punishment is one loaf, served at normal meal times, for up to a week.) Oral arguments (MP3) were heard in March, and a decision is expected to come down by the end of the year. But it doesn't look good for the prisoners. The lawyer representing the prisoners noted that "Nutraloaf has been found to be uniformly unappetizing to everyone who has been served it." To which one justice replied: "Counsel, I've eaten Nutraloaf. And it isn't tasty. But many things I've eaten aren't tasty."
