I realize she is trying to help the "obesity epidemic" but shouldn't adults be able decide what they want to eat?
This is all you really need to read in that article:
"The First Lady doesn’t set nutrition policy for the nation’s fleets."
Here's a much better article on the subject - one that doesn't blame or even mention Michelle Obama:

They should.

don't they already have Fit Reps and everything that they have to pass? Aren't they obligated to meet a standard of health as it is?
I'm not being a smartass...
Except for when they're in the military, eating at the chow hall. Then they eat what they are served. It's always been that way.

this #### really pisses me off. sure, cutting back on the fried food and increasing vegetables is a great idea but please leave the whole milk alone. we're talking about military personnel, the majority of which are constantly training, gaining muscle, and burning calories at a rapid rate. Whole milk is not going to hurt them, in fact they need that 'good fat'. Basic nutrition that even I can handle. Especially with all those men. who seriously still drinks skim.

I saw something recently about removing the fat from milk, that without the natural fat the milk becomes more difficult for the body to process and actually makes the milk worse for you.

Yes. Was trying to remember where I read or heard that.

I know you're not. Nothing makes sense to me anymore...just along for the ride....
Cats drink cow's milk.

But it isn't actually very good for them. Many (some sources say most) cats are lactose intolerant and can't digest it properly.

No reason to drink milk at all. If anyone wants it though, feel free to walk down to the store and buy some

Standard cow milk has much more lactose and casein than many dairy-loving kitties can digest.
“Lactose is a sugar, and undigested sugars draw water into the intestine, causing diarrhea,” adds Dr. Heinze. “They are also fermented in the gut, and can cause bloating and flatulence.”

I'm allergic to cats so I've never been around them but they sound like they can't even read important kitty health news.

Now THIS is something worth bitching about.
You all know that I'm perfectly okay with school kids only having healthy choices with regard to their school lunch program. If they want something different, they can pack a lunch from home.
I'm also okay with having certain dietary requirements in military mess halls. Why would we feed our defense force junk food? They should be eating for optimal nutrition. Junk food is what CARE packages are for.
But when welfare recipients can use our tax dollars to buy Twinkies, Doritos, and hotdogs, that's bull####. The only thing I can think is that our government wants to keep these people fat, dumb, and happy so they'll keep quiet. Personally, I think they should consider a different approach.

Judging by how often they retch, cats seem to be pretty much everything intolerant.
