Inside Guantanamo Bay's Kitchen: The Politics of Food

  • You’ve probably read, watched, or heard something controversial about the Guantanamo Bay detention camp since it started housing suspected terrorists in 2002. This past year, most media has centered around hunger strikes-which is one of the most well-known ways that prisoners protest their indefinite detainment-and the subsequent force-feeding they endure. Last year, there were over 100 detainees on hunger strike. But what about the detainees that are eating?
    Fortunately for them, there's Sam, the cheery middle-aged Korean chef that takes pride in each meal she whips up. Sam makes chicken eight different ways, prepares both Halal and Kosher meals, and bakes an impressive assortment of cookies. And every ingredient used in her kitchen comes from … you guessed it … America.
    Our host Gianna Toboni spent a few days last March on a riveting tour of Gitmo, from the cellblock to the prison library to the local mini golf course and the fascinating commissary. We don't know what was more surprising-the huge python that we encountered, or the interesting politics of the camp's kitchen.

      Korean mommies, and grandmas are so sweet. I live in a military town with a lot of Koreans. I started buying kimchi, and a few other Korean foods that I developed a taste for at a local market. The ladies that work there are so awesome, and they have gotten to know me, and my habits. When I come in they already know what I want, and they start packaging my groceries, and always have some fresh Korean pancakes as well as a big smile, and hug for me.

      I'm not really sure what you're asking, but I think you're asking me if I go into the store to hit on them. No. Not only am I happily married man, but so are the women that work there, and they are all quite a bit older than me. I go in the store to buy traditional Korean foods that I enjoy eating, and cannot purchase at large chain grocery stores.

      last9emperor There is no way the employees eat the food supposed to go to detainees. They want real food from there home like anyone else. They do not need to make the food bad if they are all on hunger strikes anyway. The prisoners would think the food has drugs in it so even if you made it amazing they would still more the likely not like it.

    To be real right now; even though the person who runs the food is delightful it feels patronizing to say she has a 'blissful ignorance.' Just because she has an accent and enjoys her job. That doesn't mean you would have the right to patronize her intelligence. She most likely knows better than anyone the hunger strikes, dosent mean she's 'ignorant' just because she's displaying to you how shes meant to do her job. Not everyone has the advantage of a politically 'woke' job. Sometimes you take what you can get and do your best, and you don't have the right to take an elitist position of basically calling her a delightful moron in your doco.

      ***** Please read again my comment. My main thought was that food was shown as example/evidence of how good prisoners are threated, but simultaneously omitted more important aspects of their existence such as "tortures, humiliation, many years imprison without the trial and other human right stuff".
      It is like if someone was raping you but whispering during penetration "i love you" - it is simple irrelevant in that situation, don't you think?

    • @WarrenLevine
      @WarrenLevine Před 9 lety +10

      ALINICEGUYMAN You are wrong. The plain fact is that Muslims can eat Kosher food and know it is overqualified for Halall whereas Jews cannot eat Halal food because it doesn't pass a mashgiach's test for being Kosher. Hence, Kosher is cleaner than Halal. No big deal. Many Halal things ARE Kosher. Just not all. It's nothing to get excited about. I'm saying the prisoners are getting food that is inspected and certified on even a higher level than they desire. Consider it a gesture of kindness from your hosts.

I've been studying in the US for the last 3 years and I'm constantly frustrated by such high amount of violence and crime. I know that gun control is arguably the primary reason for it but that's no excuse for such high homicide rates. To be honest, I don't know what I'm even getting at. I'm just another frustrated person living in the US and seeing that these criminals/terrorists receiving relatively good treatment when there's are hundreds of thousands if not millions of people on the streets in the US.

    I could have gone with "cute", but not after the "ignorant" comment. Why is she ignorant? Because she's happy? Is she supposed to morose all the time because she works in a prison camp? I guess as a hard hitting human rights/cafeteria reporter, it's hard for her to be around people who lack her heightened sense of professional empathy. Oh, if only we could all care as properly as she does!

I also know people who have served tours at GTMO, and it's not just the food that is a higher standard than our domestic jails and prisons, the medical care, cells, nearly everything is held to a higher standard, all because of the PR and optics. How come you never see anyone getting nearly as upset about how we treat our own citizens as they do these detainees? Somethings to think about.

Very few were 'full-out' terrorists... These people were kept locked up without reason and proven guilty then later innocent...

    Are you joking? You can't film them above the shoulders for safety. They're not on CZcams making videos for likes they work at a prison and have families you don't understand this? This video is wack.
