Food

Today I feel the burden of B not eating enough. I'm very sad. We pray and pray for him to get enough food, but he isn't. I can understand boring food, bad food, bland food, but I don't understand not enough food. He is losing weight and sleepy. His gums are bleeding. He is not getting the vitamin, minerals, or calories he needs.

And he is at the mercy (or lack thereof) of the deputies.

I'm hurting for him and pretty much sick to my stomach, too. I find it difficult to eat when I know he can't. I'm trying to take care of myself, and I have plenty of fat to keep me for a long time, but I just weep for him.

He doesn't complain to me, just stated matter-of-factly that he is NEVER not hungry. What kind of country if this that we don't care about those in jail? We don't feed them enough. I would gladly bring him food if they would let me, but they won't.

Compassion? Anyone?

I send him money orders to buy food items, but there is not any good choices available (candy bars, noodles, chips). Even milk and peanut butter would be nice, but that isn't an option. As much as I hate coke drinks, at least there are calories there.

6'4"+ and 130 lbs (or less?) His BMI is down to 16 now...no body fat at all, losing muscle mass. No wonder he is tired all the time. I hate it!

And I am helpless to effect any changes.
