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.”
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.
About a quarter of entry-level candidates for the military are too overweight to serve or to make it through their first enlistment, according to the Pentagon. And the Defense Department spends $1.1 billion a year on medical care related to excess weight and obesity.
Under the Military Health System’s new obesity and nutrition awareness campaign, more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and lower-fat entrees will be coming to the 1,100 service member dining halls across the United States in coming months. Healthier choices will be turning up in base schools, vending machines and snack bars, too, affecting more than 1.5 million service members.
Mrs. Obama, who has been leading a campaign against childhood obesity, said the military effort would send a message to the whole nation.

“When you make healthy eating a priority in your lives, the rest of us are more likely to make it a priority in our lives,” she told the airmen.
The first lady was visiting Little Rock as part of a three-day national tour marking the second anniversary of her “Let’s Move” campaign. She made a stop earlier in the day in Des Moines, Iowa to meet with an arena full of schoolchildren at a pep rally for healthy eating and exercise.
Under the new program, each of the armed services will be asked to update menu standards for the first time in two decades and to ensure that healthier food choices are available.
“We are intent on focusing on preventable illnesses to help our people stay out of our clinics and hospitals by improving their physical condition,” said Dr. Jonathan Woodson, assistant secretary of defense for health affairs.
He said surveys in the mid-1990s found that about 1 out of 50 members of the armed services had weight problems. By about 2005, the figure was 1 in 20 service members.

Posted on February 11, 2012 at 1:23pmThe following is a healthy White House dinner prepared by Michele:
Hors D’oeuvres:
. quail egg with caviar and
. salmon ceviche with jicama
. avocado on a tortilla chip.
First Course:
. spring onion-asparagus tartlet with Meyer lemon vinaigrette-dressed frisee salad
Main course:
. braised Kobe beef short ribs with potato puree
. salsa verde-topped spring vegetable ragout
. buckwheat crepes with roasted cherries
Desert:
. almond ice cream
Michele grows many of the vegetables in her extensive White House garden. Even people on public assistance can stretch their Food Stamps by growing their own fruits and vegetables. The meal is also halal for Barack even though he is NOT a Muslim.

You cant even get the dip if you request it. Makes you wonder if this was the price McDonalds paid for the healthcare waiver.

Now look at the vegies and almosu any processed foors. They are loaded with high fructrose corn syrup which is know to cause belly fat to be stored. Breads— loaded with HFCS why?

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 8:07pmI hate to say it but when I served (01-07) there were a lot of hefty Airmen, wheezing, a shuffling their fat feet by the side of the road during our Squadron runs. The CCT trainees would pass us carrying rocks on their shoulders and it kind of embarrased me. The problem is, the fat servicemen get waivers for for everything and their attitudes were pretty poor (I only have to be able to run 100 yards from a burning aircraft). It was a mix of poor leadership and whiny slugs who were just unmotivated. That’s why the SOCOM was so appealing – professional people who knew what it took to get the mission done (and that included taking care of yourself). Unfortunately, the guys aren’t forced to stay on base and if MO brings on the salads, they’ll just go stuff their faces with burgers and twinkies! IMHO

I learned many of these good habits from my parents and learning about good nutrition in hygiene class.
She doesn’t talk about moderation in our diets (personal responsibility) or educating others about good nutrition WITHOUT trying to limit the variety and choice of food.
Besides, if she ate the way she is lecturing the rest of us to do, she would be much thinner. Esp the way she appears to work out. Sneaking some doughnuts on the side, Michelle…?

Posted on February 9, 2012 at 9:57pmPersonally, I think we should all be proud, as Americans, that 1/4 of all citizens of the United States who want to enter the military are too fat to join. I don’t mind that, as the lede says, the US spends a billion dollars in medical to treat obese military personnel. To me that says only one thing: Americans are free to eat whatever they want without the First Lady’s communist dietary guidelines.
I don’t care if every single person in the military is too fat to run a mile without throwing up. We are still the greatest nation on earth, and the most powerful, even if, or maybe because of, the fact that we have the most morbidly obese people on the planet. We’re not lean and mean, we’re fat and mean. And if you cling to liberty more than we do to recommendations of nutritionists, as I do, and lots of people are too fat to join the military, so what?
The culture of the United States of America is to eat deep fried foods! And to be fat. That’s is our heritage, that is our culture. This America, not some third world country. And if the First Lady is trying to change those American values by recommending that people eat healthy foods, then she can just go live somewhere else. Like Bangladesh.

Posted on February 10, 2012 at 3:02pmIn 1986 I conducted a food survey on my ship, USS Gray (FF-1054). 96% preferred real ground beef over veggie burgers; and most preferred whole milk over 2%, butter over margarine. I then found that Kroger Food Distribution had CEASED offering veggie burger because of poor acceptance in their stores, and that it was more expensive than real meat. Equating morale with the quality of food onboard, this survey was then sent to NFSO Naval Food Services Office, whereupon the Admiral in charge wrote back and said I was right, and he would get the ‘healthy veggie burger’ policy reversed by the military board. It happened soon after.
Obama doesn’t care about morale, she’s pandering to the extreme left.

Consider that many dictators use food to control people and consider taht many socialists believe that if they could just take an isolated group and experiment on them with their ideas, they could show the population at large that their utopian ideas will work.
Report Post »Hence the Indian Reservation system and Indian Healthcare. Hence federally run government schools. Hence gays serving openly in the military.
