via Freedom fries no more: Sailors angry after Navy bans fried food | Fox News.

Yes, the headline is right – the mighty US Navy is banning fried food for health reasons. The is an important policy shift. Yesterday, I picked that the top story in a major Chinese newspaper focused on a man growing big breasts after eating too much fried food. I kid you not!

Fried food is a major cause of obesity which in turn is proven health hazard. The obvious consequences are:

• Poorer quality of life
• Less active life and inability to work as effectively
• Escalated healthcare costs

The implications for these stories are far reaching. Take the UK, for example, where the NHS, the public healthcare system is in meltdown – with an aggressive UK government policy towards fried food, there would be enormous step-change economic, social and societal benefits.
