Sailors are blaming First Lady Michelle Obama after a report revealed that the Navy is preparing a full ban on fried food.
Vocativ reports:
The First Lady doesn’t set nutrition policy for the nation’s fleets. But that hasn’t stopped more than two dozen critics—many of them current and former Navy personnel—from flooding a Navy Times Facebook thread to blame FLOTUS, who has made combating obesity and promoting healthy eating her signature issues.
Comments included, “Is Michelle Obama now playing big sister to the military hotline?” and “First the kids, now the troops.”
“Seriously. Sounds like MICHELLE OBAMA strikes again,” a former Navy Intelligence Specialists opined.
The Navy Times reported that the Navy would soon stop frying chicken, French fries, and shrimp, and instead bake them in “state-of-the-art ovens.”
“Whole milk will be replaced by skim and soy; fruits and vegetables will be on prominent display,” the report noted. “The fast line will remain, but its offerings will be cut back.
“And this is just the beginning.”
The report also said the military’s “Go for Green” healthy eating campaign will “become the standard” for all mess halls, on land and at sea.
The Department of Defense has been touting its “Go for Green” healthy eating campaign for years, which gives red alerts for foods like bacon and apple pie. “Limit intake” warnings accompany deserts and fried foods through the program.
According to Vocativ, the fried food ban is set take effect in 2017.
well not all....
USN always had good food. All you can eat too.
All kinds of really tasty fried dishes. A little more of our youth is disappearing.
Whole milk is not bad for you!!!!
Olympic champion John Belushi owed it all to little choclate donuts: "They've been on my breakfast table since I was a kid."
Soy is estrogenic. I wouldn’t recommend it to any male.
LOL!
Thank God I retired before this obamanation.
Skim mild is dreadful-—chalky water.
Whole milk is yummy.
Between the transgenders and the new diets why would anyone go in the Navy?
.
Some of these guys are going to be gone from station at sea, for longer than the shelf life of fresh fruit and vegetables.
How much food do you think will go in weighted trashbags leaving patroling submarines?
This is ridiculous, because it is not just ‘chow’, but a touchstone of what is HOME for these guys.
I might have been spoiled, but my touchstone was a fresh boiled hot dog and a container of chocolate milk, as i walked back to work from the base exchange at u-Tapao.
Between WideLoad Michele and the fairyprincess Secy of Navy Mabus, they might was well make everything in the Navy the color “YELLOW”.
We need a real mutiny now by American patriots who will fill the yardarms high with traitors, and demand “FRIED FOOD OR FIGHT”.
I’m sick at what the traitorous Obama regime has done to our military. In the old days I had lunch with Admirals Middendorf, Radford, Dan Galley, Arleigh Burke, and even John McCain, the father of our present toad.
These were real men, real fighters, and real patriots. Today we are led by fairies, fakes, affirmative action incompetents, traitors, and PC aholes (did I leave anything out? If so, please feel free to rant them in here).

I am soooo tired of the DiC and his beard
So buggery is in and fried chicken is out. Way to show your health concerns USN.
Whole milk is more healthful than skim. Our troops don’t need to deprive their bodies of needed fats.
You know damn well you'd be in line for that $hit 2 months in to a 6 month cruise
:)
Chicks with d**ks yes, corn dogs no.
Funny story about fried food. I was talking to one of my Cooks (MSs) one day and he mentioned that his first ship was an Aircraft Carrier. I mentioned that it must have been wild being a new recruit on a huge ship like that.
He said: “Mr. B, you wouldn’t believe it. First day they told me I would be deep-fat frying chicken. The 1st Class showed me the twin fryers and gave me a safety briefing, then he started to walk away and I said - where is the chicken? He said it would be there shortly. Sure enough, in a few minutes an electric forklift came around the corner and dropped off a PALLET of chicken. I deep fried chicken for 8 hours. When my shift was over - between my clothes and the apron - I weighted about 20 pounds extra in grease.”
