How good is the food in the Indian army? Why do most soldiers have big bellies?

The Indian army's food is worrying and the nutrition ratio is unhealthy, which should be the chief culprit and the most important thing-too much starch staple food, less exercise and eating livestock feed. (Indian police are fatter)

If food items are brought up in barrels like Indian rations, most people in China may think it is pig food or swill (they were not told in advance that it is rations).

This is Indian lentil soup. Curry, onion and lentils are cooked together, and occasionally there are chicken and carrots.

Growing up in such a big barrel, I'm afraid most people have no appetite.

This is Puri cake. Grassroots soldiers eat it all year round, and they can't live without it for three meals. The officer is a little better. On the basis of Puri cake, he will eat potatoes and flour wrapped in fried peppers. Depending on the situation, he will eat scrambled eggs with potatoes, with lots of onions and green curry. As you can see here, officers eat more fat and starch, so officers have more figure? Strong? )

A short story, during World War II, Indian soldiers also fought with their British masters against the Japanese. When the Japanese army was short of supplies, it found some small white and green spherical solids, which the soldiers ate themselves as a supplement to supplement the military food. At that time, Indian soldiers were basically vegetarians, so the feces were green and white, which means that Japanese soldiers used to eat Indian soldiers' feces. (This story is also seen by chance, and its authenticity needs to be verified. You can have a look. )

Curry is indispensable, but curry is rich in oil.

In fact, there are still vegetarian troops, most of whom are religious and don't eat meat. Therefore, as a substitute for meat, milk is supplemented to these vegetarian armies. (These vegetarian troops are not out of shape. )

Pumpkin, potato, green pepper and curry are stewed in one pot, which is the main course of Indian army lunch. Seemingly vegetarian, it is actually high in energy. Potatoes contain a lot of starch, and potatoes still account for the bulk of stews. Green pepper curry and so on are all heavy-flavored seasonings, which can greatly stimulate soldiers to eat more.

It is true that both the Indian government and the military have made a lot of training plans for Indian soldiers, but there are several problems. First, the training plan is only implemented in elite troops; Second, ordinary troops can't eat and neglect training; Third, it is basically only for recruits with strong plasticity, and a large number of obese soldiers are not planned; Fourth, the government's plan is beautifully written, but the military expenditure has not kept up.

Briefly talk about the training plan of the Indian army:

In the army, the training period of recruits is 9- 12 months, and the professional training period is 1-2 years (unskilled 1 year, and technical soldiers are 2 years).

Air force, recruit training 1 year, professional training (non-technical 42 weeks, technical 72 weeks)

Navy, recruits training for 6 months, professional training 1-3 years.

In addition, after completing the initial training, recruits must receive strict military training. The Indian Army emphasizes that soldiers spend more than 65% of their time on military training every year, regardless of season, climate and geographical conditions.

Veterans spend 90% of their time idle.

The military fraud scandal exposed by India's mainstream media Hindustan Times on June 5438+0 was really shocking: soldiers actually ate livestock feed.

Senior logistics officers of the Indian Army have long used livestock feed as the staple food of ordinary soldiers in order to obtain huge kickbacks on meals (involving an amount of 3.6 billion rupees, equivalent to about 350 million yuan). Once the scandal was reported, public opinion from all walks of life in India fired on the military one-sidedly. (We usually call it? Drinking soldiers' blood? )

Eating beans is very popular in India. All kinds of beans are mixed together and ground into bean paste. Dahl. , popular in major regions of India.

The Hindustan Times revealed that the research report is more than 800 pages long, and the procurement of the Army's commissary is under way. There is a serious fraud problem? And the supervisor? Central food laboratory? Also in cahoots, participate in it. At the end of the report, it was pointed out that a brigadier general, two colonels and a lieutenant colonel were directly responsible for the fraud case (even the glamorous Indian Air Force broke out a sex scandal)
