Assumming it's true, half a cup of rice and tortillas it's a formula for a lot of nutrients deficiency + lack of proteins make the body start pulling it from muscles in order to repair other tissues.
The last time dire news about the state of morale and food on board a US Navy ship was paraded around it turned out to be pure fiction. That famous pic of the gray "insole" and pile of ground something with carrots was from years before this conflict and in a totally different context.
There's a war on, and right now it's mostly a war of propaganda.
Food maybe, but morale on the Ford was reportedly quite low and there has been some conjecture that the fire that has knocked it out of service was not accidental.
The bit about it being taken earlier came from an episode of What's Going on With Shipping with Dr. Mercagliano, and frankly I'm not up to finding it.
Setting that specific claim aside nothing ever came of this, and although I despise the current admin I'm disinclined to think that the Navy was lying when they showed what was really being served days later. It comes down to whether or not you buy anonymous pics from a twitter "OSINT" account or not though.

Maybe some politician should tell them they’re just entitled and that they should be thankful to receive anything. Then they can add a quip about their steak and lobster fest.
"An unidentified father, who's also a Navy veteran, reportedly said his son described seeing holes that have worn through the ship's deck."
If true, it's crazy that sailors can tell their families so much. Doesn't speak well of security. I'm reminded of WW2 censors who read letters being mailed to families.
You right to bitch and moan about (a) your commanding officer and (b) the army/navy/air force as appropriate (but not the marines, they don't complain) has been enshrined in the UCMJ for as long as it's existed.
"Join the army they said. It's a man's life they said" - Numerous Roman legionaries throughout all the Asterix stories. Along with "my caligae are killing me".
So it's been around for at least 2,000 years. I bet that alongside Ea-nāṣir's tablet there are some complaining about the quality of the food in the Akkadian army.
Western imperialism is dead and so is the west. Good riddance. Now build a wall around the west let them stay in their own hubris. While the rest of the world can live in peace with out the greedy westerners. Who also caused climate change

Works for the non-military population

But I don't really know military culture or norms so maybe you're right that this is fine.

Both of them desperately wanted this war.
The Russian army is also poorly equipped, poorly trained and in chaos...
