Obama was in Little Rock, Ark. to announce a new healthy food initiative within the Department of Defense that will bring more whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat options to 1,000 military dining facilities, affecting nearly 1.5 million troops.
This is corny. There's never been a lack of the above choices in the mess halls. Not that I ever remember.
Besides, most of our troops are on separate rats anyway. That means they eat what they want when they want.
And that's the way it should be.
Obviously, when they're in a war zone or deployed, the chow line is the place to get food. But, as I said, there's never been a lack of fresh fruits and veggies that I ever remember. The exception, of course, is eating MRE's in emergencies and rapid deployments.

I notice that most of the plates seem either 'not eaten' or 'dabbed at', and that no one is seen actively eating.

I can tell you quite succinctly what the military would like Moochelle to eat.
Double for her vapid dork husband.
To: maggief
If they post Michelle-My-Belle’s photo (#12) in every military chow hall, the soldiers will eat a lot less.

Oh, dear. I generally stop at McDonald’s twice a year, and get a small order of fries with my burger. Last summer I was considerably surprised to discover that small order of fries is now EXTREMELY SMALL! So, next time I guess I’ll get a medium order—and pay more for it. Thanks a bunch, Michelle!
But the difference with the military is that when Michelle orders, most likely the Perfumed Princes who are currently running things will jump to her commands. No more fries for the troops! Aaargh.

My boss is a Friend of the IDF. He visited a military base and went to the cafeteria and said it was like Purim every day.

With moooooochles and mac daddies baseless self importance evalation of themselves how do they manage to live on the same planet let alone be married to each other?
Well, he's gay, smokes, does dope, and likes wasting hours playing at golf. She and her sistas run the country, even have their own separate private airliner to party and shop anywhere in the world.
Plenty of separation. Seems to work pretty well for them.

To be fair, one of the duties of the first lady is to approve the military messhall menues.

To bad Michelle didn’t get into a tug of war with one of the soldiers here like she did with that wuss Jimmie Fallon the other day? Michelle would have probable been dragged all over the barracks floor by one of the heathly feed GI’s?

"Our military leaders know that this is not just a diet issue; it's not just a health issue. This is truly a national security issue," and I highly doubt that they haven't already addressed this issue and thoroughly documented it in Technical Orders (TO's) or whatever the various branches call their manuals. They don't need Michelle Obama involved.

Dejas vu. Here's Moochelle spreading her propaganda at Little Rock Air Force Base. Anyone know how to *read* hand signals?

and said it was like Purim every day.I'm not Jewish, so I had to look that one up.
I just expanded my theological vocabulary by one more word. Thank you. That makes today ALREADY a success.
This whole 'eating/diet' craze by Michelle is simply her 'campaigning' for re-election.

She was such a great failure at implementing her food guidelines to public schools that she decided to foist them on the military!
