After firestorm, pork roast is back on the menu at federal prisonsfor those who missed it, Obama banned pork products from federal prison.Most everyone thought he was doing it to pander to his fellow muslims, but obama claimed it was because the prisoners didn't want pork and cited prisoner satisfaction surveys No one believed him: really, prisoners don't want bacon at breakfast ?for once, a senator showed some backboneChuck Grassley (R, IA) is chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which ovesees federal prisons"To corroborate the validity of the claim that prisoners indicated a lack of interest in pork products, I am requesting copies of the prisoner surveys and responses that were used to support the determination to no longer serve pork in federal prisons. Please provide any economic evaluations the Bureau of Prisons has relied on that detail the cost of pork as compared to beef, chicken, and non-meat products such as tofu and soy products."Well done, Senator Grassley
