Caesar: horrible
Liz: 2-4, the men cook it...its definately not appetizing and everything is as fake as it gets.
Samuel: Poor
Nick: nasty, banquet meals, spaghetti, meatloaf with mashed potatoes, turkey with gravy and green beans, alot of times was still cold, we also had cereal for breakfast with one pint of milk to go with it and for lunch it was cold nasty sandwhiches that i was afraid to eat any of it
Teresa: The food was pretty horrible. We only got one hot meal a day and that was breakfast. Most of the food was pretty bland and tasteless. For dinner all we would get was a meal consisting of cold sandwhiches and sometimes a small bag of chips. The drinks were watered down koolaid.

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Cyle: No.
Caesar: They were all bad. Some less than other, but bad nonetheless. I heard some stories about cockroaches on the food, by people that worked in the kitchen.
Liz: my favorite meals were pancakes and peanut butter for bf, beans and cornbread with a cookie lunch, and spicy breaded patties with bread and a brownie dinner. The least favorite was everything else they served.
Samuel: Everyone loves waffles and pb but the milk was my favorite part of the meal
Nick: all the meals were so nasty and undercooked. I had a hard time eating if i ate at all, but i had to eat something or die
Teresa: Least favorite meals would be the sandwhiches we received for dinner as it tasted like old sandwhich meat. There were no favorites.

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Cyle: No.
Caesar: Commissary offered Soups (ramen type) and chips. Commisary came on Tuesday and Friday. You had to put in your order by Sunday for Tuesday's and by Wednesday for Friday's commisary.
Liz: no, unless you buy commisary
Samuel: Wide variety on commissary
Nick: no snacks just three meals a day free, breakfast cereal and milk, lunch cold frozen nasty sandwhiches and dinner was undercooked banquet dinner meals and the drinks for lunch and dinner was a small cup of gatorade
Teresa: The only snacks you could get outside of the meals came from the commecary cart, but you had to buy those snacks which would come from money on your books that could only be put their by friends or family. The stuff on the cart was priced similar to service station prices for snacks.
