I questioned this many years ago when someone tried to explain why a bag of salt, or a head of lettuce still requires a Kashrut stamp to be eaten by an observant Jew and was told a lot of the 'kosherness' comes from the preparation e.g. salads have to be washed and prepared in a certain way to ensure no tiny bugs could be hidden in the leaves and inadvertently eaten, eggs have to be inspected using a clear glass to check for blood spots, no work can be done on Shabbat when cooking, packaging etc.
Fascinating subject, but can be annoying if you're in an Orthodox area and want a cheese burger!

Since Vegan food is Kosher and Halal, no one can object to being fed a Vegan diet.
All prison meals should be Vegan, no other choice, simple as.

I think currently in the UK a Jew could require to be fed kosher foods under religious rights protection, and likewise someone who was veggie/vegan for religious reasons - but not as a lifestyle choice?

I'm not sure how true the story is, but it was said that in one camp during the Holocaust a table of pork was laid out on Yom Kippur and as the Jews all ate as much as they could the Nazi's laughed as they watched the Jews breaking both the Kosher laws as well as the commandment to fast on the day.
The Nazi's hadn't realised they had provided the Jews with an opportunity to fulfil a mitzvah (saving life) rather than commit a sin so the Jews were laughing (as much as you can in a concentration camp) at the Nazis.

To be fair I expected them to only supply allergy free vegan foods to prisoners. It ticks all the boxes no dairy, halal by design etc.
