Plaintiffs in a West Virginia case complained that Nutraloaf had caused vomiting and “burning in the chest and throat.”258 However, prison medical personnel did not consider the symptoms to be serious.259John Lee Malvo, of the infamous sniper-style killing spree, suffered unremitting diarrhea and bloating from eating Nutraloaf exclusively.260 In his case though the diet was self-imposed, so presumably the discomfort was somewhat less than torture.261 Malvo’s local Sheriff Stan Barry attempted to dispel rumors of the loaf’s unpalatablity by consuming it at a news conference, but his effort did not work out quite as he planned.262 After chewing a single bite for a very long time he made it clear that the experience was not enjoyable.263
