The co-founder of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX pleaded not guilty to a seven count indictment charging him with wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering.

An attorney for FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said in federal court Tuesday his client has to subsist on bread, water and peanut butter because the jail he’s in isn’t accommodating his vegan diet.

    To be fair, there are lots of unhelthy vegan foods. Just because “veg” is in the name of your dietary preference doesn’t mean you can just eat oreos all day

      Same for gluten free diets. Some people think eating gluten free is healthy (it isn’t), but cram your face with GF pizza, pasta, cookies and candy and you’ll be as fat as anyone else. As for health, my kids are celiac so I frequently peruse the ingredients of these products and even simple GF breads can have dozens of ingredients to give it texture, bubbles, elasticity & taste similar to regular wheat bread.
