Dziwne ,że niby jesteśmy w NATO a standardy żywieniowe w polskiej armii
oparte sa o żywnościowe racje z armi radzieckiej
--W NATO każdy żołnierz na zyczenie otrzymuje wegetaraińskie racje żwynościowe
( przepraszam - w NATO oprócz polskiej armii)
survey taken after Operation Desert Storm revealed that armed forces members
wanted more ethnic and vegetarian options. The Department of Defense Combat
Feeding Program at the U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center developed
vegetarian “meals ready to eat” (MRE) to feed hungry soldiers. The veggie
MRE’s include such foods as pasta with vegetables in tomato sauce and black
bean-and-rice burritos.
According to Judith Aylward, a registered dietitian and a food technologist
with the Department of Defense Combat Feeding Program, “More and more
soldiers are becoming health conscious, and even those who are not
vegetarians enjoy an occasional meatless meal.”
Thanks to the vegetarian MRE’s, soldiers can enjoy tasty meals without
hurting innocent “civilians” like cows, pigs and chickens. The vegetarian
MRE’s are healthier, too. Vegetarians generally have more stamina, energy and
endurance than meat-eaters, and that’s especially important in combat.
The meals have been a huge hit with the soldiers who tested them. “Some of
the Marines who taste-tested the pasta and vegetables with tomato sauce
offering said that eating the meal was like eating at the Olive Garden,” said
Aylward. “The perception that the warfighters only want meat and potatoes no
longer holds true.”
Soldiers in Jerusalem, Britain and Canada are also reaping the benefits of
vegetarian service meals. The IDF Nutrition division in Jerusalem introduced
vegetarian battle rations after years of complaints from vegetarian soldiers.
Vegetarian service members in the Royal Army, Navy, and Air Force enjoy
meatless options such as lentils and tikka masala and spicy vegetable
rigatoni in the “operational ration packs” given to British soldiers. Eager
to meet the growing demand for vegetarian options, Canadian Forces Food
Services devoted a workshop to vegetarianism at its annual conference to
discuss food for Canadian troops. An estimated 10 to 15 percent of Canadian
Forces members choose vegetarian meals.
Vegetarian meals, including black bean burgers, are becoming more common on
U.S. Navy carrier ships. PETA staffer Hollie Kuntzman’s husband, Matt,
stationed on the USS Peterson, reports that vegetarian options are available
aboard his ship and that he hopes to see more during his long deployment.
Says Matt, “Like my commitment to protect and fight for our country, I have a
commitment to protect the animals.”
