Military Leaders Point to Schools in U.S. Obesity Fight

Bulls**t.

Former U.S. military leaders have identified a latent threat to the potential for a leaner, more agile fighting force: the school vending machine.

In a report to be released on Tuesday, a group of 300 retired military officers said school-age children are eating 400 billion excess calories a year - the equivalent of two billion candy bars - from junk food sold in such machines as well as in snack bars and cafeterias that should be off-limits.

It has nothing to do with the schools, as the government's own data have proven.

This is what happens when folks with brass s**t for brains opine outside their field.

They should spend more time doing/learning/teaching what they are supposed to know.

Small wonder a bunch of country folk caused the greatest loss of US airpower since the Tet Offensive in 1968.
