Study: inmates last meals mostly unhealthy

Someone got paid to do a study on inmates last meals and found them to be unhealthy?  Did they expect a person who will be dead in a few hours to worry about his weight or cholesterol?  Can a dying persons eating habits really reflect on the eating habits of an entire population?  A valid study chooses a sample that is representative of the population it is drawing conclusion about.  You can be poor and you can be stressed but if you aren't at death's door, this study does not reflect on you.
