[QUOTE="donna723, post: 320731, member: 1883"] If that's a State prison they couldn't get away with it for very long if they weren't serving the proper amount of food. That's all mandated by the Federal courts and there are strict guidelines to follow. Here we have a four-week cycle menu prepared by dieticians that every institution must go by, and the portion sizes are specified and must comply to standards. Every institution is serving the same thing on the same day, and at the end of the four weeks, they start all over again. The food is surprisingly good and not what you'd think of as 'prison food'. And every month they have to turn in what they call the "as run" menu, what they actually did serve, that shows any substitutions that had to be made. It's all monitored very closely. They can serve the same amount of food on weekends in two big meals or three smaller ones but it's still the same thing. [/QUOTE]
