The nation's pork producers are in an uproar after the federal government abruptly removed bacon, pork chops, pork links, ham and all other pig products from the national menu for 206,000 federal inmates.

The ban started with the new fiscal year last week.

The Bureau of Prisons, which is responsible for running 122 federal penitentiaries and feeding their inmates three meals a day, said the decision was based on a survey of prisoners' food preferences:

They just don't like the taste of pork.

I suspect this has more to do with Obama, Islam and halal. Than it does what the prisoners like.

Obama really loves to push the envelope!  Next he will ban pork in the military!

All of this will change when he leaves office.

Ban pork in Congress.

I wonder if Obama ever eats pork???

I don't know if he does or not, but someone on this forum said he does.  I don't think Obama's menu is public knowledge, therefore it would be difficult for someone who doesn't dine with him or cook for him to know.  However, since Muslims don't eat pork, I would assume Obama doesn't.

I'm sure he didn't eat it as a kid in Indonesia.  And he probably grew up thinking it was bad and probably never developed a taste for it.

Pork is not readily available in muslim countries.  As a matter of fact it is not available at all in some muslim countries.

We were only able to get it in Saudi through a special "pork room" that our Company made available.  We had to sign for it.  You would be surprised at how many food products contain pork products.... even some Brownie mixes. 

I once smuggled a ten pound ham into Pakistan!  That is a long story.....

According to him, he and his Indonesian step-father once ate a dog.  I fear for Bo, the Portuguese Water Dog.

Yes, they do eat dog in Indonesia.  Arabs won't eat dogs because they are considered unclean.

The purpose of prison is NOT to dictate dietary requirements to your captors.

Odd thing how Obamatrauma was so giddy at paying so much for a dog we haven't seen since since he got it. Your fears may be too late!

What's the policy on dogs eating Arabs?

There is only one dog breed indigenous to Saudi Arabia.  That is the Saluki.  I never knew an Arab that owned a Saluki.  They were mostly owned by foreigners living in Saudi.

The Saluki seem to instinctively know that the arabs are not their friends.  They stay away from each other.

B.S./B.O. wants his food to be halal when he finally gets put where he belongs!

One page of a list of Mrs. B.S./B.O.'s demands
got left behind in a hotel room where she once stayed.
It included a bold face requirement: NO PORK !!!
And no food prepared in any facility where pork is processed!
