I don't remember Laura Bush out there dictating policy or ordering others to do whatever she thought would be good for them.
This is America's 21st Century “let them eat cake” moment!
(No knowledge of such a thing. But she seems so obsessive on the subject, and so officious and dictatorial that it just wouldn't come as a surprise.)

Wrong target Michelle. The Army people are already in shape. Maybe you should have challenged some of them to a tug of war or a pushup contest. They can probably do more than you're measly 20 or so. Anyhow, you need to go to the high schools and sell your program to 9th and 10th graders so they can get in shape for the Army. I'm sure they'll welcome your gestures. Maybe you could bring some of those high caloric MREs along and show them what they get to eat when they are deployed to combat zones. Got to keep up the strength to pull those triggers and tote those rucks.
Please someone tell this disbarred lawyer to STHU.
The GOP candidate’s wifes should all come out together and tell us that when they are in White House as our gurst, will not scold us on what we or our children or soldiers eat.
“First of all, I’m all for feeding the troops healthier food, but I doubt what Michelle Obama has to offer is appealing to them.”
When food hits the tongue, the glands send the proper acids to digest the food to the stomach.
If the tongue doesn’t like the taste, the glands aren’t stimulated to send much acid. In other words, your ‘system’ doesn’t like it, and therefore doesn’t want it to be used to replenish the body.
Ergo, it is actually wasteful, and unwise to be forced to eat food one doesn’t want or like.
The ‘truth’ is that most food is artificially ‘flavored’ to make it ‘tasty’ to the tongue. Were the manufacturers to leave out the artificial ‘flavorings’, most of our eating habits would change.
But that would mean less money for campaign bundlers, so....
Reuters Pictures 18 hours ago Plates sit in front of airmen as U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama speaks in a dining facility at Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas to highlight her efforts to improve nutrition throughout the armed forces February 9, 2012. The first lady is on a three-day trip to mark the second anniversary of her "Let's Move" initiative to improve diet and promote exercise in the nation.
With moooooochle’s 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?
Isn't that a BIT above her PAY GRADE?
An angry woman with an enormous butt giving diet advice to the rest of us?
In what world does that make sense?
Next thing she’ll do is have the military ban care packages from home .... you know, the ones that have all the good stuff soldiers love like jerky, candy, treats & I’m sure there will be no more pizza delivered (there is a program to get pizza to the soldiers). Moochelle needs to “butt out” of our business ..... literally & figuratively. The only “National Security” issue I see is her husband, the single biggest threat to our national security we are now facing.
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 can tell you quite succinctly what the military would like Moochelle to eat.
Double for her vapid dork husband.
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.
Ladies, watch your diet
This Could Happen To You!
To be fair, one of the duties of the first lady is to approve the military messhall menues.
The wookie just goes too far......
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?
And even those who make the cut often struggle in basic training.”

most people “struggle in basic training.”
I weighed about 110 pounds and I “struggled in basic training.”
I had a hard time with push ups...
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.
