I'm Sorry, But Are You Serious?

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Terry Nichols has decided to go on a "hunger strike to protest unhealthy prison meals." Now, I am all for the fair treatment of prisoners. And I believe that prisons should not be a form a torture or punishment, but rather a form of rehabilitation. With that said, and before everyone gets all up in arms, I do recognize that not everyone can be rehabilitated. And based on Terry Nichols' crime and his beliefs, I doubt that he could be rehabilitated.
 
But here's what gets me about this article:

"Nichols contends he needs a better diet for medical and religious reasons. He contends that eating refined foods defiles God's holy temple, the human body."

Did your jaw just drop to the floor? Because my jaw sure did! Now, I'm not a religious person, but I respect that everyone has the freedom and choice to believe in and practice a religious faith. However, I do not respect people who get all super religious and talk up their religious convictions, but then choose to not live their lives according to those convictions. Mr. Nichols does not want to defile God's holy temple, the human body, by eating unhealthy foods... But he had no problem defiling the hundreds of bodies inside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building?! Health reasons, ok, I get that, but for religious reasons... No way.

Tell me, how do you feel about this?
