I'm losing my mind in this comment section.
Vegan =/= Vegetarian
Basic access to a diet appropriate to each individual =/= Luxury
Being guilty of a crime =/= Being less human than the people you love
How does it look like I don't know the difference, when I state they are actually looking into providing Vegan instead of just vegetarian?
As a vegan you can take the vegetarian option and cut out the things that are not vegan. No need to eat just bread.
Also Vegan is 100% political ideology, and quite honestly, prison is not a political platform.
So I'm losing my mind that people here apparently means he deserves special treatment to please his personal whims.
If as others have mentioned, it was a health issue it would be different, but it isn't.
On an other note, the guy is a narcissist, and would do whatever for attention.
I think I see where you're coming from! It's actually a common misconception that you can easily transform vegetarian meals into vegan ones. Every vegan has different needs, and a prison menu has unique challenges. They often serve packaged items or things like stew, which you can't remove ingredients from.
And I think you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who is a vegan for "political" reasons. No one is asking for a platform here, they're asking for food.
Do I like this person? No.
Are they a person? Yes.
That's the key point that I think is getting lost in many of the comments here. I would never fault someone for being massively angry about what FTX did.
