Give Arizona Prisoners Healthy & Nutritious Meals


Give Arizona Prisoners Healthy & Nutritious Meals
The Issue
The Arizona State Prison food service is operated by Trinity Food Group, their registered dietician, Laura Donnelly has formulated meals that are unhealthy and do not provide all required nutrients. White Flour Products, White Rice, Dehydrated Potatoes, Instant Potatoes, Cakes, Cookies, Bologna, Margarine (Trans-Fat), White Sugar, Corn Chips, Artificially Sweetened Beverages, Hot Dogs, and Peanut Butter that contains sugar and hydrogenated vegetable oil (Trans-Fats)
Then there is no variety of healthy foods. Fruit is served only on the week-end at Brunch, Monday - Friday there is no fruit served. Also no fresh vegetables are ever served, periodically lettuce is served once a month Cole Slaw is served, often full of sugar. The lunch sacks served Monday - Friday are always the same; 4 slices bread. 3 oz. peanut butter & jelly mix, processed lunch meat, 1 cookie, one bag of corn chips. No fruit, no vegetables! No variety either.
The special diets are even worst. Mostly refined carbohydrates. And way less variety. The Registered Dietician claims that these are heart healthy meals, when in fact they are disease contributing meals. The medical diets serve the same foods every day. The vegan religious diet is over 80% refined carbohydrates. The Kosher diet was just converted to a vegan diet, removing all the meat and dairy.
Arizona prisoners deserve healthy & nutritious meals, with reasonable variety. Also daily servings of fruits and vegetables. Discontinue serving all the overly-processed foods and beverages.
