WASHINGTON -- A group of senior retired military leaders say one in
four of all potential recruits is turned away because they're
overweight, presenting a threat to national security. And they're
pushing for federal rules restricting what can be sold in school
vending machines to reverse what they view as an alarming trend.

The group of retired admirals, generals and other senior military
leaders, called Mission Readiness, will hold a press conference here
on Sept. 25 to release a new report called "Still Too Fat To Fight,"
which follows up on a study warning of the problem two years ago.

The report reinforces recent recommendations by the Institute of
Medicine, which call for making the school environment a focal point
for addressing the nation's obesity crisis. Claiming that many
children get as much as half their daily calories at school, "Still
Too Fat To Fight" focuses on the need to remove so-called "junk" foods
from schools and urges the federal government to update decades-old
standards for foods sold in school vending machines, à la carte lines
and snack bars.
