The co-founder of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX pleaded not guilty to a seven count indictment charging him with wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering.
An attorney for FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said in federal court Tuesday his client has to subsist on bread, water and peanut butter because the jail he’s in isn’t accommodating his vegan diet.
“if in prison, vegan meals were the only option for everyone, and an inmate refused to eat until given meat.”
I’m still ok with it.
You might be, but think about the reaction to that. It’s not a realistic scenario, even progressive governments would strike it down as inhumane.
It simply is the case that there is a bias towards vegans. If other convicts can eat meat, then vegans should be allowed to eat plant-based meals.
