Marines’ Menu Modified to Combat Chubby Leathernecks’ Desire for Fattening Food
Marines’ Menu Modified to Combat Chubby Leathernecks’ Desire for Fattening Food
We had that system at Bliss five years ago...didn't stop anything...too much short order in the mess...but have you seen the food court options when you go to the PX? Not exactly healthy.
Good. It's about time.

No. The Marines and Navy contracted with Subway (OK, that's alright...) and Dairy Queen (my Achilles heel), and most of the exchange food courts have BK, Chinese, and a taco shop. Admittedly I have not eaten at a base DFAC in years.
It’s the same still, this policy has been in effect here for a while now. Doesn’t change anything. Still a line out the door for cheeseburgers and although there is a menu that explains the nutritional and caloric breakdowns, it is worthless as so many people are trying to get food that if you are the dude reading it you’ll run out of time and your chance to get in line before it’s time to go back to work.
If you want to eat “healthy” at the chow hall, you have to already know what’s the good good before you even walk in. If we spent even a fraction of the time we spend doing death runs on teaching our Marines on how to fuel their bodies we would be a stronger force as a whole.
A lot of Marines don’t even know what a calorie is or what carbohydrates do, and that’s not a “crayon eater” punchline, that’s a failure on our branch as a whole.
It's a failure across the services. We don't treat our service-members as athletes, because that's what the combat arms types are at-least: Here gun, run towards enemy.
There's like five green suiter nutritionists on Bliss, and the only way to get an appointment is to be a fat body. But what if we had at least one Sports Nutritionist, Athletic Trainer, and S&C coach per Brigade let alone battalion. I know that's what the Army brought Master-Fitness Trainer back for...but none of those guys are given the time blocks they need to bring that knowledge of Physical periodization and nutrition back to their troops.

Liberals started screaming that Coke & reds are symbols of American imperialism and started media campaigns to demonize their use.Wait, what happened to run 6 miles, drink two cokes, smoke a Marlboro?

Exactly.......We had the same food at the mini-malls and the same DFAC food in the 90's and noone was fat......
