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.

Don’t tell me they will eliminate SOS!
How long will it be before the troops have to wear boob belts?
Don’t tell me they will eliminate SOS!
Whoops.
That souless bit@h. Let her spend a few days in the mud, in the rain,, digging holes, staying awake,,freezing. And come back to a salad and some whole grain bread.
I despise these central planning A-holes like Moochelle.
The troops will be forced to eat rabbit food, while the Obamas eat steak,ribs,fries and all the good stuff.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
...then someone shouted at her, “You Lipo!”
It's a damn good program the way it is.
It's tailored for young, healthy people that burn a bunch of calories.
WTH are you going to feed 20 year old boys that have spent 12 hours on their knees in the snow doing a hydraulics overhaul on an A-10? Fruit?
Bullshit.
They need calories. Protein to keep their brains working. Carbs to keep their muscles working, and fats to keep them warm.
The wookie needs to quietly walk away.

I don’t eat in the chow hall that often. It will be even less often now.
Perhaps they could place posters of Mooochelle in the chow halls? That would make people hurl and thus eat less.

When is she going to force congress to eat “more fresh fruit and veggies”? (I HATE that slogan or whatever it is...fresh fruits and veggies...sounds so pretentious.)
This sounds like it will go over like a lead balloon. Yeah sure after a hard day nothing like some fruit and veggies!
It’s the low-fat craze that is causing the epidemic of obesity. Most of the time, when fat is taken out - carbs are put in - that is what causes stomach fat and heart attacks.
Nothing but a PR stunt. The chow halls were always loaded with plenty of fruits and veggies when I was in. A fruit bar in the morning and a salad bar at lunch and dinner. And this was 20 plus years ago!
Heres a tip for you. Always ascribe the worst of all possible motives to these people. They WANT our guys to be short on protein and carbs. It isn’t fair that the American fighting man has a nutritional advantage of any kind.
Does she have any idea how many calories it takes a day to keep a military man going?
She is going to kill our military.
Yes, creamed chipped beef on toast (SOS for the uninitiated) isn’t half bad.
