Prison food, in all its serving-line glory, is not often mentioned as the

highlight of the incarceration experience. Legend holds, however unfairly, that

the taste and color of the daily victuals tend toward gray.

 

Now the kitchens that feed 145,000 federal prisoners will face the challenges of

tofu.

 

The U.S. Bureau of Prisons has announced it will begin offering a no-flesh diet

to inmates who prefer, for reasons of faith or taste, a meal that contains

neither beef nor fish nor chicken. A spokesman attributed the move to " the

changing dietary habits of the inmate population. "
