Will the horror never end? Is there no part of American life which the government is unwilling to interfere? First it was preventing our senior citizens who wished to live in huts and dine on Purina through the fascistic Social Security System. Then there was Obamacare, forcing Americans to wear the shackles of modern medical care. Now there is a scary combination of America's original socialists, the US Military, unprecedented interference in the educational system at the federal level, and out and out dictation of the kind of food that our children can make free choices about.
Yes, without a doubt this is the first step towards forcing everybody to keep a strict Muslim halal diet: an unpatriotic, freedom-hating group of retired military officers want to ban junk food in America's schools. More on this latest threat to our way of life below the fold.
According to the group Mission: Readiness,
Our organization recently released a report citing Department of Defense data indicating that an alarming 75 percent of all young Americans 17 to 24 years of age are unable to join the military because they failed to graduate from high school, have criminal records, or are physically unfit.
Being overweight or obese turns out to be the leading medical reason why applicants fail to qualify for military service. Today, otherwise excellent recruit prospects, some of them with generations of sterling military service in their family history, are being turned away because they are just too overweight.
We have witnessed countless acts of bravery and courage during our time in the Armed Forces. We are deeply proud of the talent and commitment of the young men and women in uniform. Our standards are high because we clearly cannot have people in our command who are not up to the job. Too many lives depend on it.
The foreign-born "general" John M. Shalikashvili goes on to reveal the real agenda of this shadow group for Obamafascists:
"Every month hundreds of otherwise excellent candidates for military service are turned away by recruiters because of weight problems. Since 1995, the proportion of recruits who failed their physical exams because they were overweight has risen by nearly 70 percent. We need to reverse this trend, and an excellent place to start is by improving the quality of food served in our schools."

AND THERE IT IS - THE SECRET AGENDA - TO QUASH OUR FREEDOM TO EAT FREEDOM FRIES!
Who is going to stand up to these communist dictators of what our kdis can and cannot eat? This is what comes of so-called "Federal Lunch" programs, where apparatchiks in a faceless, soulless government bureaucracy cast judgment over the very Doritos that make America the land of the free!
Join the fight. Write your Congressman and demand they support HR 7734, the Restoration of Every American's Dining Yen act of 2010, that will ban federal interference in the content of school lunches. Because Freedom demands that we stand up to the unpatriotic lunch-haters at Mission: Readiness.
