The Navy announced that its galleys will stop frying chicken and french fries. Instead, sailors can enjoy baked chicken and fries. The Navy is also replacing whole milk with soy and skim milk.

Altering the menu served in Navy mess decks is meant to increase physical performance and decrease health costs. The program is limited to cafeterias aboard Navy vessels.

Sailors are not taking these changes in stride. Veterans and active duty servicemen alike are protesting the abolition of their cherished freedom fries on Facebook by reminiscing about the deep-fried menus of yore and shaking their fists at Michelle Obama.

Here are a few choice comments from this Facebook thread.
