Freedom fries no more: Sailors angry after Navy bans fried food

The Navy is going on a health kick and removing all fried food from dining hall menus.

In an effort to kick up its healthy eating "Go for Green" campaign, it will stop frying foods like chicken and french fries and bake them instead. It is also axing whole milk and replacing it with skim and soy, reports Navy Times.

In May, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus announced the menu revisions as part of efforts to improve sailors' food, uniforms, training and overall fitness to boost field performance and lower medical costs.

Electrician's Mate 1st Class (SW) Roberto Rodriguez told Navy Times that he’s lost 10 pounds since the program began and said he feels “a whole lot better.”
