Inmates will no longer be pigging out on ham or bacon after the Obama administration removed pig products from all federal prison menus. A spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations said they welcomed the move, “It helps with the religious accommodation of Muslim inmates who don’t eat pork,” Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for CAIR, told the AP. A spokesman for the White House said that the decision was made to be sure that inmates’ medical and religious convictions were not violated.No more bacon for breakfast, ham sandwiches for lunch or pork chops for dinner but halal foods will be available.
