| U.S. military bases are traditionally outfitted with some of the comforts of home — including comfort food. The naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for example, has McDonald’s, KFC, Starbucks, Subway, an Irish pub with notorious fried pickles, and multiple bars. Now, the food police are closing in at the Department of Defense, with similar language that preceded school menu crackdowns. The Pentagon today announced 13 pilot sites for its Healthy Base Initiative: Fort Bragg, N.C.; Fort Sill, Okla.; Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii;

My son is at West Point - where they have QUIT SERVING BREAKFAST - because of sequestration.
I am not kidding. This is not a joke. And, apparrently, this will be coming to an Army base near you. Two meals a day is the new Army standard.

As many of us realize, the ultimate aim of collectivists is to control every aspect of our lives ---- what we eat, how warm or how cool we keep our houses, what we drive, when we can drive, harsh water rationing, remove our right to defend ourselves. There is no end. The second civil war has started. Grab a tight rein.

Either nobody in or near the WH has served in the military or they have no taste buds. The value of comfort food to our troops is beyond compare. Besides that, military members are required to keep their weight down or not be accepted at reenlistment time. Those who live near bases know this because of the large number of military types jogging at lunch time or before heading off to their posts. They don´t need diktats on what to eat.
Making more sense would be cutting sugary sodas, chips and candy from eligible food stamp products.

In Afghanistan the food is great and plentiful at the big bases where the brass live.
But at the Combat Outposts the troops walk through a chow line like prisoners. You take whatever they slap onto your plate. No more- No less.
20% of the soldiers do ALL of the fighting and they are the ones who get treated like McDooDoo.

Good healthy food should always be available for people to choose what they like.
There is no excuse for West Point to skip serving breakfast. That is idiotic. The sequester jester, at it again? And while I´m at it... I´ve never agreed with the punitive policy of the academies´ only allowing 15 minutes to eat, which is foolish, unhealthy, and counterproductive.
Mealtime is not the time for hazing and pressure, even for plebes.
People in academy training exercises need to consume lots of calories, especially when young and healthy, and rapid force-feeding is just dumb. Eating takes time.
There is actually nothing wrong with making available healthy options. I eat at McDonald´s and select healthy options... except the devil makes me drink demon diet sodas... They taste better, btw, with a dash of real sugar soda added in. For example, Diet Coke with Diet Dr. Pepper and a couple ounces of sugar Dr. Pepper. Tastes great, fewer calories. (Loved the taste of a dash of Barq´s Root Beer but I´m apparently allergic to something in it... you don´t want to know.)

Anyone who watches television, the internet, newspapers and magazines is fully aware that this President eats junk food when he is on the road, in campaign mode, on vacation. And his wife constantly preaches to us about what we should and should not eat. She does not practice what she preaches.
Taking away breakfast from our troops is a disgrace. And they are the ones responsible. Upon Obama´s return from the Middle East, I would like to see the Obama family on a strict regimen for one month of MRE´s.

Why do they never start at the free-loader level when they do things like this? Restrict welfare and food stamp choices, especially the long termers. Leave our military people alone - they have EARNED the right to make their own choices. Even if Moochele doesn´t like it.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself.
