JM: How would you rate the food?
Harry: Worse than old school food we used to have to eat.
Qtip: on a scale 1 - 10 maybe a 4 or 5
Hanna: Worse then the worst school cafeteria food you have had. They must have out MSG in the food as well because you got a little dinner and were extremely bloated right after. So Im sure it was added to make the inmates feel full. You were starving at least 30 minutes after you ate!
DoneMyTime: scale 1-5 it would rate a 2
Linda: ON A SCALE 1-5.I'LL HAVE TO GIVE IT A 1.
Missy: TERRIBLE.
