> The state of Texas has ended the practice of offering death
row inmates their choice of last meal before their deaths. What
does a killer's choice of food say about his state of mind?

> Lawrence Brewer's last request was so extravagant it seemed a
mockery.

> Just before the acknowledged white supremacist was put to
death by lethal injection on Wednesday, he ordered two steaks, a
triple-meat cheeseburger, a cheese omelette, a large bowl of
fried okra, three fajitas, a pint of ice cream and a pound
(0.45kg) of barbecue meat.

> It's not clear how much of that he was actually served, or
whether his nerves affected his appetite, but he ate none of it.

> The following day, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice
heeded the request from an outraged Texas state senator to end
the tradition of the generous last meal.

It's bad enough that they kill people in the first place,
whether they give them a nice meal or not before they die is
almost an irrelevance.

The most shocking thing was the fact that an American man
refused to EAT! :run:

I used to be in favour of Death Row, but I am starting to be
against it, especially after the death of Troy Davies.
As for a last meal, I would have kept it, but I cannot really
see it changing much and it won't really change much in my
opinion
