$100,000 Food Trucks: $40,000 -A decent food truck costs around 25,000. Insurance costs around 3,000. Licensing and comissary fees, graphic design and food equipment cost 12,000. Healthier Fast Foods: $60,000 -Expenses go towards the rent in renovating space inside the Memorial Union. Physical Activity/Sports: None
PROJECT PLANNING Stage 1: Identify the specific restaurants and food trucks that need to be removed from campus. -Recognizing the unhealthy food choices on ASU will be the first step for this project. Stage 2: Studying which food choices students make the most. -Evaluating the eating habits of students will allow us to choose the right types of foods that students eat the most. Stage 3: Studying students physical activity and intermural sports they choose the most. - Studying which physical activity students get involved in the most will allow us to have better insight in which physical activity classes to implement.
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT Stage 1: Introduce the new healthier food services to students. -Acknowledging these healthy food options will allow students to know of the choices available to them Stage 2: Survey Students - Asking the students if this project is making an impact and whether to continue the process.
FURTHER STEPS Contacting other college campuses to see which campus maintains the most health will allow ASU to learn more on how to create a healthy college campus. Contacting healthy food corporations to partner with ASU
POSITIVE EFFECTS If ASU were to achieve a healthy college campus, this project will impact the rest of the world. -ASU would be a pioneer in creating a healthy culture in a college campus
RISK AND CHALLENGES Resistance: Students who are deprived of fast food services may protest and complain to reinstall fast foods back into ASU Partnering with Healthy Restaurants: If Healthy restaurants do not wish to partner with ASU then this can be an issue as well Finance: The funding for continuing this project may exceed ASU’s budget.
