Unhealthy school lunches pose a threat to national security, according to
a group of retired military leaders.
Leaving 27 percent of young adults "too fat to fight," childhood obesity
is jeopardizing military recruitment, according to a report released
Tuesday by the non-profit group Mission: Readiness.
The 130-plus retired military leaders making up the organization is
joining together to battle the obesity epidemic on the school front.
While putting cafeteria fare on the level of a national security threat
may be "dramatic," "it's not entirely unjustified" considering how much
students eat during the school day, said Karen Glanz, a professor at the
University of Pennsylvania Schools of Medicine and Nursing.
In the report, the retirees called for less junk food in schools, better
nutrition programs for kids and overall better funding for federally
provided school lunches. The group also appeared on Capitol Hill Tuesday
with Sen. Richard Lugar and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to show
their support for new legislation on the issue pending in congress.
"Since 1995, the proportion of recruits who failed their physical exams
because they were overweight has risen by nearly 70 percent," said Gen.
John M. Shalikashvili, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
