What’s the fuss about? Although Michelle Obama doesn’t have any direct policy control over U.S. Naval nutrition, many current and former Navy personnel were quick to spot the similarity to the FLOTUS’ assault on school lunches.

Vocativ reported:

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus hinted at a host of sweeping changes to sailor fitness and nutrition back in May, The Navy Times reported. In addition to forgoing french fries and fried chicken, sailors will also no longer be able to order whole milk at chow halls. Instead, they will have to go with either skim or soy milk.

Check out the lively discussion on the topic over on the Navy Times’ Facebook page.
