Navy sailors blame Michelle Obama for fried food ban
Sun Times National ^ | July 15, 2015 | BY CHAD MERDA

The Navy is implementing a plan to cut fried foods out of its chow halls, and some sailors aren’t pleased with it, taking aim at Michelle Obama.

But it turns out there’s no reason for them to be busting out the #ThanksObama on social media. While the first lady has worked to get healthier food on the school lunch menu, she has nothing to do with setting the Navy’s nutrition policy.

In addition to the elimination of fried foods, whole milk will be replaced with skim, while fruits and vegetables will be pushed more.

I am sure all of you are aware that none of these stupid calorie restrictions and “healthy eating” mandates have been imposed on the Congressional cafeteria ...

None of them nor Wookie could handle being on a carrier for ORE off GITMO. No eating, drinking, or smoking, for up to eight hours at a time and no restroom either. {yeah I know it's not called the restroom just saying it in civilian terms}. Then some moron sets William on the ventilation and you can't leave your space to turn the blower back on until GQ is over. One meal a day during ORE if you're lucky and maybe some sleep maybe not.

Yeah diet was a huge concern of our chain of command. /sarcasm.

What I want to know, is who elected her to do anything? She has no power that is authorized by the Constitution, therefore she's just a tick on that dog's hindparts as far as power goes.

No one even has the nuts to tell her politely to stfu.

“when that 700 pound Amazon loses 550 pounds I’ll listen to her diet advice.”

LOL! She couldn’t lose 500 pounds off her butt if she had a chainsaw.

Precisely! GMTA, I hadn’t read down to your post yet. Her lack of Constitutional Authority to do anything but stand there and smile by her husband irritates me, too.

MCRD in San Diego put 20 pounds of solid muscle on me. None of my civilian clothes fit when I came home on leave.

My own mom hardly recognized me.

i believe this all a way to control health care costs since they control it now. They are running health care like a business. To hell withe the people i.e.. death panels.

Morality aside, the Obamacare Death Panels may prove to be quite effective at bailing out SocSec and Medicare.

Each year sliced off the lifespan is HUGE in the actuarial calculations.

Sorry to disagree. There is plenty of money in washington that is wasted. But our politicians squander it then rob social security and medicare.

Your comment certainly is correct.

But any objective financial analysis of SocSec and Medicare will categorize them as Ponzi schemes.

No possibility of long term sustainability.

Congress robbing the fund only hastens the demise, not causes it.

And some of the lucky ones will ask their Chief and Officers to give them a decent meal out of their Mess’

When I was Jack "O" Dust back in 64 the Officers rations were drawn from the general mess stores. The only difference was who cooked it.
