Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

He is not supposed to be malnourished. If the option is malnutrition, or disregard of ethical beliefs, I'd argue they actually are forcing him.
Would you think the same if a mass murderer was requesting vegan food? For example the girl that killed new born babies on purpose, would you also be like: "poor girl, give her a vegan menu!"
Yes
What problem does feeding a mass murderer dead animals solve exactly? Do you not think it's disrespectful to animals to treat them as fodder for petty vengeance?
It solves the problem of not allowing them to use suckers like you to manipulate everyone else to doing what he wants.
If I had to rely on that much hyperbole to make the point, I'd reconsider my position, myself.
It's obvious that's what's happening. Vegans are coming out in droves arguing people shouldn't ever be put in jail simply because SBF is a vegan and they care more about their own than anyone else. They're circling the wagons around this guy, and they never considered that he could just be lying, exaggerating or purposefully playing to them to get them to do exactly what they're doing.
What they're doing isn't accomplishing any good. Neither are you when you defend them. All it's causing is discord.
No, people just have a principle and are applying it evenly. Even if he's lying about being vegan, there's not really a downside to giving him vegan food. It seems as if your argument rests on some notion that it hurts everyone's ego or pride or something to grant this request, because it certainly doesn't make a material difference to any of us. And you're seriously misreading people's arguments in this thread. Did your wife leave you for a vegan or something?
No, they really are doing nothing but aiding and abetting a con man because he appealed to their pet issue to get them to do it. He already has a vegan option, it's called a PBJ. Part of being in jail means you don't get the choices you'd get out on the outside, and part of life in jail is accepting that. If he didn't want to suffer, he shouldn't have stolen billions from innocent people -- or at least went so far as to steal from other rich people.
You're just not listening because you, yourself likely are a vegan. And you don't want to admit you're getting played.
he hasn't been convicted of anything.
By the same token you'd say someone doesn't get the choice to drink clean water or piss in a real toilet. You have the right to follow an obviously extant and relatively mainstream philosophy such as veganism when you're detained and it's not aiding and abetting or being played to just give him some potatoes or something. In fact you've made me laugh.
no one said that. you're making that up.
You're literally the guy who said you don't believe in rights but think people in jail should still be able to be vegan, and to another guy you admitted you don't know what should be done with people if there is no jail. You even went so far as to defend revenge while the rest of your little gang of trolls accused everyone else of being subhuman, violent, bloodthirsty savages for even thinking other people deserve to be punished. Other people of your little tribe or whatever were even arguing with CSA survivors because of it.
You need to sit down and drink yourself a nice tall glass of shut the fuck up. And take the other awful jackasses of yours out with you.
who is in my gang? do we get tattoos? what color bandanas?
i'm not responsible for what anyone else does.
its true.
You need to sit down and drink yourself a nice tall glass of shut the fuck up.
what tribe do you think i'm in?
Yes. A convicted murderer sitting in prison is still a human being with human rights. Fuck this dehumanizing system that only knows punishment. It's no wonder that the recidivism rate in the US is one of the highest in the world.
