If Mooch wants to know what an actual national security threat looks like all she has to do is look at her husband.


First lady Michelle Obama said Thursday that poor nutrition in the military was a “national security issue,” and praised the armed forces for taking steps to bring healthier options onto bases.

“Our military leaders know that this is not just a diet issue; it’s not just a health issue. This is truly a national security issue,” Obama said. “According to a recent Army study, more than a quarter of our nation’s 17- to 24-year-olds are too overweight to serve in our armed forces today. And even those who make the cut often struggle in basic training.”

Obama was in Little Rock, Ark. to announce a new healthy food initiative within the Department of Defense that will bring more whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat options to 1,000 military dining facilities, affecting nearly 1.5 million troops.

“That means more DoD installations will offer the kind of fresh, healthy food that the Air Force’s Food Transformation Initiative helped bring here to Little Rock,” Obama said, referring to a pilot program launched at the Little Rock Air Force Base.

Yeah when I think of big fat out of shape people I think of the military, not first ladies with giant asses eating two lobsters and a kobe wagyu steak chaser for lunch.

Our dramatic rates of obesity absolutely jeopardize national security.

Dramatic rates of obesity in the air force?

Regardless, I think maybe her crusade is working. Gallup Says More Americans Now Normal Weight Than Overweight

Imagine if patrick swayze was obese when red dawn came? Who would save us?


Nobody.

I take this as a sign that they are anticipating the Supreme Court taking away the "Commerce Clause" as their "do whatever the hell we want to anyone, just because" clause. So they are planning ahead and making everything a National Security "Common Defense" clause issue.

I wasn't aware she served her country in the military.

Do you think the Supreme Court is about to roll back more than 100 years of decisions? I can't see that happening.

Outside of those enlisted because that is the pool we would have to pluck from come draft time or world war time.
