Hello! I am Katie Strnad a current member of Dakota High schools senior class. My senior project consisted of picking a topic that I had much insert in would like to take action on. I chose childhood obesity because from personal experience with the school lunches being changed to all healthy foods and new regulations something was wrong with Americas overall weight with children. I believe the help Michelle Obama tried to make with school lunches was a small step and I hope more people become aware of the problem. I care about kids these days staying off their phones and enjoy the life they are living without being overweight. I myself have always been an active child and cared about my personal health and body image. So to help others feel as comfortable with their body as I am with mine, I wanted to take a stand.
