Dead Man Eating Blog

Dead Man Eating SscreenshotThis is a bit of a gruesome one: a weblog dedicated to recording the last meals of those condemned to death.

But there is a little more to each blog post than just the last meal. Details of the crime, the length of wait on death row and the like are all detailed. So, for example, 47 year-old Mack had a final meal request of a fish fillet sandwich, French fries and a lemon-lime soft drink. Mack was executed for the rape and murder of a Reno woman and was the first Nevada convict to be executed based solely on DNA evidence.

I am certain my last meal would not be anything KFC related as per another, now deceased, person. Plenty of comments on Dead Man Eating detail what people would request.

My understanding is that, in most cases, the condemmed do not eat any (or much) of their "last meal" because they are simply too gipped with fear and depression knowing that they are going to die in a few hours. I can't imagine how anyone would feel knowing that the meal brought to them, no matter what it might be, would be the last meal they'd ever eat. I'm not going to express my views on the death penalty here, but I'll say that the whole idea of a final meal served to someone in prison before them being put to death (and believing that they might actually enjoy that meal or even really care what it is) makes me shudder.
