LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Hold the mystery meat: Military mess halls soon will 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 announced the effort Thursday during a visit to Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas, where the military has been experimenting with ways to improve the quality and variety of foods served on base. The first lady toured a gleaming cafeteria line, then announced the program in a dining hall filled with service members whose plates were overflowing with salad greens, broccoli and whole grains.
“You all look really good, really fit,†she told the airmen. “Thank you for eating your vegetables. We need you strong.â€
She encouraged healthy habits during a visit with individual airmen at their tables.
“Don’t worry, you’ll be a vegetable guy soon,†she reassured one airman.
She stressed that it’s not just about giving members of the armed services a more svelte profile: There are big national security and budget implications.
"Soylent Green"
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Why is she so fat ?
This low fat nonsense is getting dangerous.
lol.
good idea making sure our military men are hungry. i’m sure that will help morale
she’s a jerk
11 months and the evil biddy is gone.
My favorite military breakfast?
Beans and cornbread.
Even Michelle can’t screw that up.
Her fat ass is on the way out of the Oval Office.
So good luck to our troops staying alert and safe on patrol after a delicious meal of carrots and kale.
Last I saw Michelle Obama was never elected by anyone.
I bet she will be pushing soy on them for meat replacement. Goodbye gonads. Wench. I despise this woman.
Active Duty ping.
She's destroyed school lunch programs, and now she is out to destroy military food too. All because she has to look in the mirror and there's her ugly body staring back at her. So she binges on fries, then thinks a few veggies will balance that. She needs to change herself, not the rest of us! She's fat because she's a pig!
In ONE week:
1. Crying US sailors taken prisoner by Iran
2. Generals required to formulate new enviro missions
3. Draft of women proposed
4. Bases go VEG
DISCOURAGE ALL YOU KNOW FROM JOINING THE MILITARY, OR QUITTING
Yeh those twenty mile hikes with hundred pound packs will be a breeze on veggies.
Or encourage them to quite, I meant, sorry.
