There are Jews and Christians who do not eat pork. I am the latter.
Read a book.
They don't seem to be the ones asking for it to be removed. My guess not many Christians are in the prison.......
“In general we welcome the change because it’s facilitating the accommodation of Muslim inmates,” said Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the country’s largest Muslim civil rights advocacy group. “We hope it’s not an indication of an increasing number of Muslims in the prison system.”

Try reading the article.
Actually, YOU should read the article. The article clearly states that prisoners generally don't like the taste of the pork being served.
Of course Muslims who are incarcerated find it a positive change. So what?
All it's going to take is a group of blacks to have a riot to get bacon and this thing should be done with.
As a young man, I bought bulk foods for the BOP for prisons so I know that they are quite likely to have protests and fights in the prison from the Muslims and Obama making this decision.

And we say the reasons and excuses are BS! We are a bacon-loving nation... all except the Muslims, of course, who are offended by the mere odor of it being cooked. God forbid we should force our Muslim inmates to suffer the abusive scent of bacon being fried in the Mess Hall.
This ban has NOTHING to do with finances.

All of those who don't eat pork already had alternatives to pick from. I think they should have been forced to eat whatever was being served or starve.
As long as we are repeating ourselves, Jews have been here a long time and this hasn't been an issue until just now. I would like to see some statistics on the percentage of practicing Jews that make up the prison population vs the percentage of Muslims.
I think this is the first time I've seen so many conservatives on this site advocate for keeping pork even though it's more expensive. I thought Republicans were all about lowering government spending.
