4. The Veggin’ Experience Stanford University, Spring 2010 CS377v - Creating Health Habits habits.stanford.edu At about 7PM, when Stephanie returns to her dorm, she notices she has another mms with a motivation and funny photo of someone eating vegetables. She is also asked to text back yes or no regarding whether she ate any vegetables during her dinner. The next day, a message to all her dinner party is sent showing letting them know who ate vegetables and who had not. Stephanie feels great because she is part of the group that ate the veggies. Members of Casa Zapata themed living group, get together daily to have dinner during regular dining hall hours. Stephanie is a part of the group and enjoys eating with her peers. At about 5:15 everyday, Stephanie and the rest of her dinner party receive an MMS message with a photo of the vegetables available at their dining hall. It is accompanies with a message encouraging them to order a serving. Because many of the other people she is eating with are eating the vegetables, Stephanie also feels motivated to order the vegetable that day. The next day, Stephanie receives another MMS message with the another photo of the vegetables in the dining hall and is again encouraged to eat the veggies.
