‘Too Fat’ for Empire?

Military Generals Target School Lunches
By Mary Clare Jalonick
A new report being released Tuesday says more than 9 million young adults, or 27 percent of all Americans ages 17 to 24, are too overweight to join the military.

 

My comment: These guys are survivalists and former military, and even though I disagree with their individualist position, I think we can learn from them. There are many ways to prepare and many reasons for doing so. What really matters most is not why or how, but that we ARE preparing.

en passant

My call for a spiritual revolution is thus not a call for a religious revolution. Nor is it a reference to a way of life that is somehow other-worldly, still less to something magical or mysterious. Rather, it is a call for a radical re-orientation away from our habitual preoccupation with self towards concern for the wider community of beings with whom we are connected, and for conduct which recognizes others interests alongside our own.’ ~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama
