Does the judge’s order in this case amount to “see what you got in the fridge that he might eat” or “go out and get special food for him”.

5308

Yeah, that’s some hardcore bullshit.

5309

I’ll be sure to ask my clients to submit a note from their mothers when they are next in court.

I think it’s quite possible that he has a food sensitivity to some ingredient that is not found in “organic” food, and therefore only eats a limited diet. So sure, one could do a diagnostic workup to find the offending ingredient and determine which “non-organic” foods are safe. Or just continue the usual diet.

5311

This is entirely different. If it is a medical reason, then yes, he should be accommodated. It should be very easy to get a medical note on this fact. Don’t claim religious objection.

5312

You just know it’s going to be the monkey’s paw of dietary wish fulfilment.

5313

I agree that he may indeed have an aversion to something in non-organic meats and veggies. I disagree that it’s life-threatening or even major enough to impact his health in measurable ways unless he actually has something from a physician saying so.

I can bet that if the jail had told him his food was organic right from the first meal, regardless of the truth of that statement, he wouldn’t know the difference. It’s not like they have great chefs working in the jail. The standard hamburger steak with potato and green beans is gonna be just as bland and unappetizing with organic ingredients as otherwise.

Edit: Regardless, we all know it’s not really about his health. It’s about his comfort and his ability to bullshit and make waves because this special snowflake Q-loser is all about gaming for attention and not experiencing any of the negative consequences of his actions. He’s a grifter and attention seeker.

5314

I wouldn’t get too worked up over this. I suspect Buffalo Solider is getting all kinds of organic stuff in his food now.

When a physician notes that a patient has an allergy or food sensitivity, they are simply repeating what the patient told them. They don’t actually follow the patient around to check that they are telling the truth, and almost never intentionally try to provoke the symptoms themselves.

There are plenty of patients with “allergies” in their medical record that physicians secretly think are BS, but remain in the medical record anyway. The classic example of a non-allergy is Narcan.

5316

There are allergy tests.

5317

Not ideal, but that’s fine. It at least means he saw a physician about it. It might be made up still, but at least on record. Unlike a religious objection where the religion doesn’t even make mention of such things as noted earlier.

5318

Usually, sure. But in this case, they didn’t even have to present the minimal bit of proof that he’s actually medically sensitive to anything. His mother’s word was good enough, I guess.

5319

There are, but most allergies are very rarely tested.

Yes, it is. When reporting that someone is (for example) vomiting, an ordinary person under oath is as good as a doctor under oath. It is not something that requires medical expertise to detect.

5320

For you. In this case, I disagree.

Again, we’re going around and around on this when we both know the truth. He’s just an asshole that makes his living off being a Q celebrity. His objection to organic food is 100% aligned with his persona.

5321

I have no idea what evidence that judge had access to. My point is that getting a doctor involved would not have changed anything, because if the mother was willing to lie under oath then she surely would have lied to the doctor. And when a doctor writes an allergy note, they are basically obligated to record everything a patient says as the truth.

5322

Do pagans do transubstantiation?

5323

I believe the Christian ones do. :)

5324

Could Trump give the Medal of Freedom to organic food?

5325

The amount of e-ink you guys can spill over just exactly how much privilege this white dude who invaded the Capitol without being shot in the back seven times or having his neck kneeled on for eight minutes until he died, or indeed, even being arrested until several days later should have is… well, it’s something.

There’s a difference between punching up and punching down. Yes, all incarcerated people should be treated humanely, safely, and with their rights intact. But there’s nothing wrong with wanting to start with the people who have really had their rights infringed, the people who are wrongfully imprisoned, who are subject to dangerous conditions, covid, violence.

To start with the white guy, whose (alleged) crime is trying to take all of our rights away and destroy the United States, who wants special meals. I don’t even know what to say to that.

5326

Well said, that’s pretty much how I feel. Yes, especially the prisoners should be treated humanely part. I just don’t think a twat in a buffalo hat not getting special trips to Whole Foods constitutes inhumane treatment.
