Here are some of the contenders for today's biggest...news...of...the...day...

While those are all stories worth watching, I think it is obviously clear that the biggest story is this - 300-pound inmate complains Ark. jail doesn't feed him well. According to the article, "An inmate awaiting trial on a murder charge is suing the county, complaining he has lost more than 100 pounds because of the jailhouse menu...he isn't happy that he's down to 308 pounds after eight months ..." It is also said the meals served by the jail "...average 3,000 calories a day..."

So...it would seem that a jail isn't a pleasant place to be? Shocking...
