I agree with you regarding fitness and body type - looks can be decieving. But my point regarding Mess food was not to excuse the Fatty because we make the crappy food available, and it wasn't to say that we should ban fries and the like from the menu. My point was that healthy food should be the norm.
There is no need for pop, you can buy it at the canteen/canex/Harvey's if you want it. I just think that if we expect fit, healthy soldiers, then we have to feed them that way. That also entails higher caloric intake, of course, but those calories should be from healthy sources, not starch deep fried in cow blubber and covered in gravy, or coloured sugar wiht fizz.
