The article says the prisoners dont like bacon...

Yeah Right!!!
What a load of horse shit!!
I agree. The link says that turkey bacon will still be served, but not pork bacon. This has nothing to do with prisonor preference.
I would say that it has the most to do with
money.
Real bacon is a lot more expensive than turkey bacon.
If that were true. an honest person would use that as the reason for substituting turkey bacon for pork bacon instead of trying to justify it based upon prisoner preference.
I am 76 year old and ever since I started a family in my young 20s I did all the grocery shopping for my family; not merely 99%, but 100%. I did this because I also did almost all the cooking. I know a little bit about grocery stores, shelf space and the concept of profit per foot. If turkey bacon would provide a larger profit than pork bacon there would be more shelf space available for it. I don't know about you, but every grocery store I have ever visited had far more shelf space for pork bacon than for turkey bacon proving that it is far more popular My Internet research also confirms that regular (pork) bacon is much more popular than turkey bacon.
The American public has shown a powerful preference for pork bacon; therefor it seems rather obvious that Obama considered only the opinions of those who are opposed to pork for religious reasons. And, yes, I am talking about Muslims.
