Nutraloaf... Yum!

By Cathy Resmer @cresmer

Last week we learned that Vermont prison inmates don't like Nutraloaf. Apparently, when inmates "misuse" their food and utensils, prison officials feed them Nutraloaf. Now some of them are suing to stop that practice.

But is Nutraloaf really so bad? Naturally, all of us here were wondering. So reporter Mike Ives visited the Northwest State Correctional Facility to try some. And lucky us, he brought a batch back to the office, so we all got a taste! Here's Allison Davis and Brooke Dooley, helping themselves.

My verdict — not too bad, but the aftertaste is kinda unpleasant. Here's Mike's story on prison food from this week's Seven Days.

Since 2014, Seven Days has allowed readers to comment on all stories posted on our website. While we’ve appreciated the suggestions and insights, the time has come to shut them down — at least temporarily.

While we champion free speech, facts are a matter of life and death during the coronavirus pandemic, and right now Seven Days is prioritizing the production of responsible journalism over moderating online debates between readers.

To criticize, correct or praise our reporting, please send us a letter to the editor. Or send us a tip. We’ll check it out and report the results.
