1. Should I be upset or happy he is doing vegetarian meal?

3. There's vegetarian and then there's vegetarian. His version sounds like something else altogether.

4. tofurkey casserole, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, fresh fruit, dinner roll, brownie

Sounds almost like my meal except I have real turkey casserole since our turkey was accidentally thawed last weekend.. And we don't have dinner rolls, made the bread into stuffing casserole.

5. And how big a portion of all that be for $0.56?

7. Ah, so the problem is not that it is "vegetarian" rather than "vegetarian" but how much it cost and

how much the inmates get? I do not know what their portions are. They probably don't have a lot to be thankful for either.

Our local food bank buys food for 7 cents a pound. True, it is uncooked, but they much prefer money donations than food. If a prison can put together a meal like this for 56 cents, that is great.

It does make me sad that the brownies on the list are donated. There is plenty to be upset about, but being able to put together a meal for 56 cents is not high on my list.

2. True Karma would be for him to end up in his own jail and have to suffer the same miserly,

hateful nastiness that he dishes out to the inmates (for an indefinite period). Not everyone in the jail is convicted prisoner. Some are awaiting trial, and those who have had their day in court are usually convicted of minor offenses. Otherwise they would be in a state prison serving more than 366 days, not in a county jail...
