So feeding children healthy food so they grow up to be healthy soldiers has nothing to do with security. Would you rather have unhealthy young people. If nutrition is no factor in security why not feed soldiers cheap, unhealthy food?
Two things sell relatively well in Washington: children and national security! That's how so much garbage gets funded under these banners. The federal government doesn't need to be involved in feeding children in our public schools and feeding children doesn't have anything to do with national security. Someone just wants to expand the definition so as to extend the reach of the budget hammer to justify more social programs.
