(Global News) The halal breakfast option is some combination of fruit and cereal with a muffin, toast and peanut butter, boiled eggs or French toast, depending on the day. That’s according to the Correctional Service of Canada’s national menu, but Jason Cain wrote a few notes in the margins.
“Everywhere you see cereal, it’s a small 35-gram box,” he wrote — the kind Nestle finds “fits well with the energy needs of a child between six and eight years old.”
CSC can’t comment on Cain’s case due to the Privacy Act, spokesperson Christina Tricomi said in an emailed statement. However, she said, per the national menu, cereal is served “in bulk” in 250-millilitre servings.
Cain wrote another note: if he wants the French toast or the boiled egg, he has to actually cook it, and that’s a problem.
