Sure, I would like to argue that the vegan society is right, but some people would disagree (see example in question). Unless there is a court case supporting that claim, it's not worth the paper is written on (or the energy needed to transmit the information). So I agree with @ChrisW and go even further than him in my opinion. | |

They state that "prisoners who have chosen a vegan way of life must be issued with a suitable vegan diet. Provided that the Governor is satisfied that the grounds are genuine, and subject to the policy and guidance contained in PSI 44/2010, together with the Directory and Guide on Religious Practices in NOMS, the normal diet may be varied accordingly." | |

| Apr 7, 2017 at 11:07 | comment | added | ChrisW | If I were skeptical I would want another source other than the vegan society's saying that (i.e. for their interpretation that the article has that effect): for example, evidence that vegan meals are made available on request in prison in France or Italy; or a court ruling or something like that. I accept it's likely to be de facto true in England. | |

| Apr 7, 2017 at 7:12 | comment | added | Zanna♦ | @PetarVasilev EU-wide, but perhaps we should be asking whether it will continue to apply in the UK :( I updated my answer | |
