Eric posted the menu as I was previously interested in meals within the prison.
I've not heard from him in a long time and had no idea about workers and inmates alike boycotting food. Not sure if this affects Eric where he is living.
I would LOVE to participate as an act of good gesture to eat a prison menu diet for the set period too! Although, in a better act of charity, to gather a bunch of people to do this and donate the money saved on better food to a worthy cause -- It could be anything prison related which would be nice for the inmates themselves (if allowed) or something that Eric feels strongly about.
Hi Eric, I don't know why you posted the menu, but I appreciate it. There was a news report in our local paper last week about a boycott at the county jail because the food was so bad. *Both the inmates and the prison workers were going on a food boycott.* The workers at the prison were just as unhappy about the food as the inmates.
I appreciate that the prison itself is underfunded and always looks for ways to save money, so supplying a lot of oatmeal and beans (and not much else) is one way I suppose.
I think it would be a good gesture of solidarity if I were to agree to eat a prison-menu diet for a set period (and publicized that I was doing so, of course) to indicate concern about the problem. I don't have any good answers, unfortunately-- it's a disheartening problem. --Bob
It's Tuesday December 4th and I'm starting to be a little bit worried about you! I was sort of expecting a response on Nov. 20th or thereabouts. I do hope all is well. Know that I'm thinking of you and look forward to hearing any news you have to share.
If I've not heard from you by next Monday, which is when your posts get posted ... I'll write all mine and send some Holiday cheer your way.
