The lack of fitness is what caused free school lunches to become a thing during the last war.

There's a difference between malnutrition due to scarcity and malnutrition due to overconsumption of the wrong nutrients, though.

Kids need to be taught proper eating habits and school lunches need to be sufficiently nourishing and not pizza/chicken nuggets/cheeseburgers/tacos/pasta every day of the week like they had when I was younger.

And America should really regulate better it's food industry. Idk how it is in China

[โ€“] Stovetop 8 points 1 year ago

It's just as easy to have a diet of too much fried/sugary food in China as it is in the US. The only sort of scenario that I don't believe exists in China that happens in the US is government subsidies for producing corn/HFCS.

Tacos and pasta can be nutritious if you put in some effort ...

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How so? Get lean beef, lettuce and tomato then skip the sour cream is what comes to my mind.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah. Reasonable portions, more vegetables, less fat. Many pasta and taco recipes don't have any (sour)cream in the first place.

You didn't get the prepackaged "grilled cheese"? I am not joking, this was a real thing my real school really served. I was astonished that such a thing was real.

Sounds like a net win

Here in the states the recruiters just lowered their standards for health and education, maybe on the pretense they can smarten / thin their recruits a bit during basic.

So this is why counter-recruitment still has work to do. Remember whatever the US Armed forces promises you, it doesn't count if it's not written in your contract, and it won't make much of a difference if you discharge out medically or are dead. And a lot of people are grievously wounded or killed in the military way before the combat happens.

PS: Your recruiting officer will lie to you. Mine did.

Good! The fatter others become, the better my physique looks in comparison.

Do you really need to be fit to operate a drone from a computer console?

[โ€“] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You gotta fit through the door

[โ€“] TimeNaan 6 points 1 year ago

That's why we invented work from home!

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Mentally fit, and physically fit enough to pass basic training and not get scoffed at. A lot of reading involved too. Can involve PTSD. Drones from the field? Standard soldier stuff. They're only a few kilometers at most away from their drones

Our generation will end war, just not the way we expected it.
