Destination Imagination Meeting 3

  The third meeting of the Greenwood Maniacs, was amazing. The meeting was two hours long. All six people were there. We first set ground rules of what we want to accomplish at the meeting. Niranjani first, showed us a slideshow about childhood obesity. It showed us the charts of obesity. 
  The next thing was, Eli made a good point on childhood obesity. He said something about children throwing a fit because, they don't get to buy unhealthy food. It's called the Nag factor when you want something really bad. We also got that on tape. 
  Then, we all saw a list of some ways that obesity can cause effect on the human body. The most common one is, type 2 diabetes. We all know that it can give you a bad heart. You can also get high blood pressure. It can also cause acid reflux.
  The team also came up with the team project's name, Mission Possible:H.A.F., or health and fitness.1 of our members came up with that acronym. we had a lot of plans like,an assembly,posters,a 5 K run,fundraisers and and announcement. We even planned contact people from the Greenwood news. We even planned to get sponsors like, Optum Health and, General Mills, etc. 
   We even came up with ideas to decrease on obesity in school. Like, gym fitness for kids. The second idea was, to do healthy diet time for kids. Someone on our team came up with a survey for our school cafeteria food. 
  The third meeting was good. The team hopes that the project proposal with the school principal will go pretty well. This was the Greenwood Maniacs third meeting.
