Nutri-loaf

By Sean Sirrine

Looking for the most unappetising thing on the planet in order to punish your children for not finishing their meals? Well, here you have it. Government tested and prisoner approved; nutri-loaf. This is the food they give to punsh prisoners for not behaving.

I found this story on Slate about taste-tsting this stuff. The story revolved around the fact that prisoners are constantly challenging the constitutionality of food, and a case is currently pending in Vermont. (Oral argument of the Vermont case here.) The author makes a few different types of loaf and trys them out with some friends.

Pretty funny stuff since we know it tastes horrible without haing to eat it, and t brings up a funny line of cases that clearly couldn't win.

However, I'm poking around the internet to get an idea what this loaf is like and I find that the A.V. Club, (the non-satiricle portion of the Onion), had already done a similar piece back in April. However, they give you an actual recipe.

Check it out, bring it to parties, and punish your little ones with food that is so bad it may be unconstitutional.
