what i learned this week from using mo is that our taxes are not used properly. because only 1% of the tax goes to helping farmers. i think that a more of the taxes money should go to helping farmers with their crops. because we all need a lot more healthier foods near us. and also that many people are use to eating non healthy food. and that is very sad so this what i learned from using Mo...

EXECISE POEM

Every day I am bombarded
In each direction that I turn
By those who claim that EXERCISE
Causes flab to crash and burn!

I did jumping jacks and sit ups
Went out and bought that darn machine
The one that guarantees in 30 days
I'd be trim and fit and lean...

I put it in the extra room
That we affectionately call the "gym"
With all the other paraphenalia
That will one day make me slim!

Ab mats for doing crunches
A small tramp to run in place
That awful, go-nowhere pedaling bike
That only leaves me red of face!

I have workout clothes and sweat bands
Even a "get-fit" coffee cup!
But that scale hasn't budged an inch
So, I'm on the verge of giving up!

I've just about convinced myself
That it's true what some folks say...
You have heard it too......Eat Right!
Get Fit? Die anyway!!

So for those who are devoted
To trying to make me over, PLEASE!
If God wanted me to touch my toes
He would have put them on my knees!

I believe He loves us as we are
That includes both big AND small
So when I reach the gates of Heaven
It will be with flab and all!

MO: Farm Bill

Today in MO, we had special guests from Food and Justice to give us a presentation about Farm Bill. Farm Bill is a piece of national legislation renewed every 5-7 years that controls how food reaches our plate, by determining what is grown and how much it costs, and therefore, who has access to it. And the current Farm Bill covers 15 categories, which are Commodities, Conservation, Trade, Nutrition, Credit, Rural, Development Research, Forestry Energy, Horticulture & Organic Aquaculture, Livestock, Crop Insurance, Commodity Future, and Trade & Taxes. 78% of the Farm Bill funding goes to nutrition. 15% goes to insurance and Subsidies & crops. 6% goes to conservation and others are 1%.

MO PROJECT

This last week I learned that The black panthers started the whole cafeteria lunch & breakfast movement.It started of small & it got huge & they traveled across nations to make this happen & it worked.Thanks to them we now have free lunch & breakfast at our schools & we don't have to pay for it.Also I learned that all the food in cafeteria is made out of starch so is freshly made not like cheap frozen meals.

what i learned from using mo this week is that the black panthers started the free breakfast and lunch at schools. the black panthers were known to do bad things. but they helped a lot of kids that were in need, by giving them free food. thanks to the black panthers there is now free lunch to many kids all over the nation. so thank you black panthers for providing free lunch to me and many others. so this what i learned from using mo this week.

Team FRESH Youth: The Merchants of Cool

Over the past few weeks, me and my peers have been learning about the MO Project. What I have learned is that your environment can really affect your life. I learned that groceries stores, liquor stores, gas stations, restaurants, and parks can affect your health and your life span. I’ve noticed that Oakland has a lot of neighborhoods where there is way more liquor stores than grocery stores that provide Fresh produce. Also, I have learned that the more gas stations there are, the more chances of asthma attacks. In conclusion, this is some of the many things that the MO project has showed me.

Importance of exercise

During the Mo project I learned the importance of exercising. And we made a poem to inform youths about the benefits of exercise. My poem start like this:

Exercise is important to you and me
sleep better, eat better and live better
Don't ever say it's too hard
too boring
or too much time
Because you know exercise is good for you

Exercise

everybody need's to exercise

if you want to be strong

and if you want to bench 250 lbs

and everybody need's to exercise

because it will pay off

and you need to do it if you

want to be big and strong

The Merchants of Cool

What i learned from the movie ''The Merchants of Cool'' is that commercials are affecting teens nowadays. What i mean by affecting is that they have negative impacts on teens. Everyone has a celebrity that they admire. Everyone wants to involve into '' Cool '' category. However, how does teens get affected? The answer has to be commercials. Research shows that about 70% of teens own a television in their room. That means that every teens watch commercials on their television When they see their favorite celebrity on television promoting a product or dressing for a brand, they get influenced. Commercials have slogans that get teens involved into their products. The commercial company even pay billions of money to study research about teens. ( i.e what they like, who's their favorite celebrity, what's the hottest trend.) Everything they are doing is giving huge impacts on teens and is mostly on the negative side. In my opinion, commercials should focus more on what teens really need not just influencing the teens with their negativity.

what i learned this week from using mo is that bad advertisement are being used to sell things to kids. i also found that reality television is being used to sponsor clothing, so that teenagers would think that it is cool to buy the things they are wearing but it is really not. i also found out that a lot of people watch the super bowl for the add that they show.and it cost $1million dollars to air something for 30secs. and also that i found out from mo is that investigators go around asking cool kids what they like to wear so they can sell it also. so this is all the things that i learned by using mo.

THE MERCHANTS OF COOL

what I learned from the movie "The Merchants of Cool" is that this movie showed me were the ideas of all the Tv shows were made. They examine teens , they ask them many type of questions they examine were they live etc ... all the basic stuff teens do. Then they turn them into tv shows , the reason why they examine this teens is so people can be interested in their channel and they can have more viewers . They discover what "cool " is too teens and then they move on to the next cool things. But what I bet most of the people dont knoe is that all tv shows are commercials. Clothes that actors use are what they are trying to sell to theire viewers .
