WASHINGTON (AP) - Hold the mystery meat: Military bases will soon be serving more fruits, vegetables and low-fat dishes under the first program in 20 years to improve nutrition standards across the armed services.
First lady Michelle Obama and Pentagon officials planned to announce the effort Thursday during a visit to Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas, where the military has been experimenting with the idea through a pilot program designed to improve the quality and variety of foods served on base.
It's not just about giving members of the armed services a more svelte profile.

I can see it now on Worm Island where 19yr old boys are called to move a minimum of 10 miles a day and often carrying loads...
Breakfast: Two boiled eggs, a piece of Whole Wheat Toast and a cup of orange juice: 350cals
Lunch: Turkey on Whole Wheat, Side Salad and an apple: 450cals
etc.
When what they want and need is SoS 3 meals a day with fruit on the side: 3,800cals.

How in the hell can a woman with a butt the size of a double wide say anything to anybody about nutrition, diet and exercise?

Does this lipo-suctioned, grifter of a Worst Lady have a degree in nutrition. If not...she should STFU.

I know.
I'm pessimist by policy, optimist by temperment.
But GIs working are going to need 3000 K/cals per day, and I don't care who you are. Even the French provide around 3200 K/cals a day for their field rations.

They need to consume lots of calories. Hard to do that if you are full on low density/high fiber foods.

I would presume several thousand, given all the exercise.

Yep. And that little fact has made or broken armies over the centuries. 3000 K/cals a day minumum, more if it's cold. And that's the logistics that wins or loses wars.
Napoleon said it earlier "An army moves on its stomach".
Those logistics are more important than specific weapons systems.

Picture the poor schlub in a combat zone:
First, OBummer takes away his combat pay because he isn’t getting shot at every day. Then, along comes the First Wookie with C Rats which contain only veg crap!
Damn, maybe the best thing to do is just stand up and yell “Shoot me!”

The Mad Mooch’s school lunch program was such a great failure she thinks the military needs it, too!
