Mansoor told us that he caught some students sneaking in fast foods and soft drinks; he had to take them because he noticed that the students were obese and had high blood pressure. Khaled said that he cared more about their health and started up awareness and called their parents to warn them about bad dieting. The members started talking about changing the school menu, they asked Khalifa if he can give them healthier foods to add on the school menu; Khalifa agreed with them and told them it would help the students by giving them a good amount of protein and nutrients. Since the members agreed on changing the school menu, Mansoor is more concerned about the food prices, seeing the students who couldn’t afford the food helpless; the members said that they need a reasonable price for the food products. As of that, Mohamed has ended the meeting and everyone agreed to change the school menu.
