Factors Affecting U.S. Pork Consumption
by Christopher Davis and Biing-Hwan LinOutlook No. (LDPM-13001) 18 pp, May 2005
Pork ranks third in annual U.S. meat consumption, behind beef and chicken, averaging 51 pounds per person. The Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII) indicates that most pork is consumed at home. Pork consumption is highest in the Midwest, followed by the South, the Northeast, and the West. Rural consumers eat more pork than urban/suburban consumers. Pork consumption varies by race and ethnicity. Higher income consumers tend to consume less pork. Everything else remaining constant, demographic data in the CSFII suggests future declines in per capita pork consumption as the share of Hispanics and the elderly in the population rises because those two groups eat less pork than the national average. However, total U.S. pork consumption will grow because of an expansion of the U.S. population.

Oct 16 Swine and Dine: Federal prisons reverse pork menu ban after outcry Fox News Federal Bureau of Prisons may have bitten off more than it could chew by banning pork from prison menus earlier this month -- and apparently has reversed course on the decision. bureau drew complaints from the American pork industry and most recently from Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley for the ban, the senator's office tells FoxNews.com that the bureau informed them they're backing off the decision and returning pork to the menu. baby-back backlash escalated as Grassley, Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, fired off a letter to Bureau of Prisons Director Charles Samuels expressing "concerns" about the decision and questioning the survey process that supposedly showed pork was low-rated among prisoners. "To corroborate the validity of the claim that prisoners indicated a lack of interest in pork products, I am requesting copies of the prisoner surveys and responses that were used to support the determination to no longer serve pork in federal prisons," Grassley wrote. original decision also stirred speculation as to whether Muslim or Jewish dietary restrictions had anything to do with it.

New Pork Ban In Federal Prisons | The Daily Caller The Daily Caller Oct 10,2015 Federal Bureau of Prisons bans pork from all federal penitentiaries and says ban not related to Muslim prisoners who choose to avoid pork for ...Officials with the Bureau of Prisons insist that they made the decision without giving any thought whatsoever to religious accommodations for prisoners, reports The Washington Post. Ross refused to say whether an increase in the number of Muslim (or, sure, Jewish) prisoners who choose to avoid pork for religious reasons played any role in the decision to stop serving pork altogether.
Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, welcomed the pork ban. (RELATED: CAIR Tries To Ban Professor’s Speech On ‘The Islamic Threat To America’)
“In general we welcome the change because it’s facilitating the accommodation of Muslim inmates,” Hooper told the Post.
The spokesman for the Muslim civil rights group also told the Post — which contacted him about pork in prisons — that opponents of Islam would suggest that federal prison officials have caved to pressure from Muslims.
“It will stoke the fires of Islamophobia based on the usual conspiracy theories,” Hooper predicted.
Wide-ranging blogger and University of Wisconsin law professor Ann Althouse suggested that what is likely happening here is that the federal government is simultaneously attempting to streamline its menus and also accommodate prisoners who refuse pork for religious reasons.
“Prisoners don’t like bacon?! That’s about the most ludicrously unbelievable thing I’ve ever heard the government say,” Althouse commented.
The more prisoners a single menu can feed, the more cost-effective prison food service is, she also suggested.
