British privates share photos via Facebook of horrible meals they are served in the army. Among poor quality food there are mouldy eggs, rotten apples and raw chicken. Soldiers have already gathered over 10,000 signatures for an online petition to Parliament calling for investigations into the standard of food served to the military.
