Meals

Interview with Jake, misty, Sam, Bruce and Brian

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Jake: 3
misty: 3
Sam: Three very small meals per day.
Bruce: three
Brian: Breakfast at 4:30 a.m., lunch at 10:30 a.m. and dinner at 4:30 p.m.

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Jake: alright, not enough to satisfy hunger
misty: 4 IT SUCKED AND YOU NEVER SOULD TELL WHAT KIND OF MEAT YOU WERE EATING, HOWEVER THIER COOKIES WERE THE BEST
Sam: It was half bad, there wasn't enough to eat unless you worked in the kitchen. There you got extras.
Bruce: on a one to ten ten being high a solid one
Brian: The food was prepared to have as little nutritional value as possible; all vegetables and grains were steamed past the point of being healthy or tasteful. Meat, egg and other imitations/substitutes were used in the place of actual protein. Fruit was fresh, and beverages were limited to tap water, milk and flavored water to imitate juice.

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Jake: all of them
misty: BREAKFAST BUISCUTS N GRAVY AND PANCAKES
Sam: I didn't like any of them. I couldn't wait to eat real food again.
Bruce: all of them sucked
Brian: The meat and egg substitutes were awful; the fruit was decent. Everything else is a long-forgotten memory, neither great nor terrible.

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Jake: no
misty: NO UNLESS YOU HAD A MEDICAL ISSUE OR WERE PREGNANT
Sam: I had to buy my own snacks once a week through commissary.
Bruce: comisary
Brian: Commissary accounts could be loaded up by outside parties to order healthy snack foods, hot sauce and the like. Everything was marked way up over actual retail value, despite most products being off-brand generic options.
