No fries for you!
Those may well be the words heard all through the United States Navy in the future. It appears the Civilian Leadership has determined fried foods are too unhealthy for troops and seamen to consume.
JOINT EXPEDITIONARY BASE LITTLE CREEK-FORT STORY, Va. — Fried food is out and nutritional nagging is in as part of the big changes coming to your chow hall.
Menus will not see significant changes — not yet, at least. But you can say goodbye to the fried foods you have come to know and love; breaded chicken, French fries, and the like will be baked in state-of-the-art ovens rather than deep fried. Whole milk will be replaced by skim and soy; fruits and vegetables will be on prominent display. The fast line will remain, but its offerings will be cut back.
And this is just the beginning.

.... Really?? These are the things the Pentagon spends its time on planning. With all that is happening in the world? THIS is the priority?? As leadership looks to boost sailors' nutrition to new levels, the recipe will mix these programs and add new ingredients. Mabus promised to "further develop the concept at one sea-based and one shore-based unit next year, and implement it fleet-wide in 2017."
In the meantime, "Go for Green" (which started as an education program) will become the standard as galleys ashore and afloat prepare for change.

Okay... So it really will be a kinder, gentler and more proper place to serve. Just think...if they could just take all that nasty killing out of the whole purpose to the jobs? Give them time..they'll innovate that out somehow too.
Nothing is too small to be dickered with, when it comes to the US Military!
(.....and these are the people others figure will be a threat by orders out of Washington? lol... Maybe a threat *TO* Washington...but another thread there..)
The Navy Reaction isn't quite as happy, it seems, as the Navy Times article above would have us believe...
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.

Taking a man's freedom fries..is crossing some sort of line. It must be. Right?
