The co-founder of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX pleaded not guilty to a seven count indictment charging him with wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering.

An attorney for FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said in federal court Tuesday his client has to subsist on bread, water and peanut butter because the jail he’s in isn’t accommodating his vegan diet.

    Airplane meals aren’t really that bad.

    It is just that at that altitude, the pressure causes your taste to work worse than on the ground.

    So I’m afraid it wouldn’t really be a punishment.

      Honestly, as a vegetarian myself (not vegan though), lots of airlines these days have a single meal that satisfies Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten Free, Low Sodium, Low Sugar, etc… I’m sure it saves them lots of money, but hot damn are they disgusting.
