Oh yeah the weight programs. Seen it happen. And tehre are kids who do pork out when ghey are doing staff or post duty rather than out in the field. Hubby has seen them get more than one entre’ etc. However none of them need Doctor godlike being to tell them what they should and should not eat. Can you imagine him eating Spam during WW2? He’d eat it to..and powedered eggs? He’d have to eat all of it thats all there was.

Steph, may I borrow a “Grrrrr!”?

I hate nanny-statism horse hockey thinking like this for civilians or the military.

I gather from his website that the doctor linked above served in the modern version of a M*A*S*H hospital, so you’d think he could balance what goes on outside the wire verses what he sees at the BK lounge at Baghram. There are more than a few folks that pork-out (excuse the pun) in the box and put on a lot of weight because they work 12 hours shifts in the command post or other jobs that don’t require a lot of physical effort. As I said before the military already has programs in place to care for the overweight…so I don’t think we need his tough love.

Holy Crap. Certainly this idiot has never actually served in anything except a comfortable office. I have not served, but I would believe that these pieces of Americana would be high on the list of morale boosters, especially in remote locations where there is zero chance of getting such fare off base.

Does this A*hole actually believe that someone serving in the blast furnace of Iraq is going to get fat form a couple of trips to Taco Bell?

However, if we do have a fat Army, making them eat nothing but rubber chicken and mystery meat surprise from the chow hall will certainly cause them to lose weight.

Someone give this idiot a rifle (with no bullets) and drop him on the front lies.

Maybe the good doctor would care to visit a Proctologist in hopes of locating his head.

If the doctor doesn’t like it, perhaps he ought to consider starting his own civilian practice. I’m certain his patients will just LOVE his patrician attitude

URG! This makes me mad! How dare they tell these kids that go and do stuff that a lot of the sit at home and watch what happens people (THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE) could never imagine, what to eat! This is ridiculous. Now granted I know that chow halls are not bad but cripes if Private Smith wants a Double Wopper with cheese after running five miles or after being on patrol for a month by all means he should have one. Those kids are young, they can run like thoroughbreds and they deserve to have comforts from home…and do not get me started on smoking. Guy just gets shot at by Achmed the now dead taliban loser and he grabs his pack of Marlboro Reds..I got no problem with that. GRRRRRRRRRRRR leave the kids alone doc.
