Some Issues To Tackle
1. Our country, the Philippines which is a developing country, is generally composed of agricultural lands in a maritime region. Agriculture employs 32% of the country's the workforce.
2. Most of our agricultural products are produced with the aid of synthetic materials, growth enhancing hormones, and other artificial means of growing.
3. Fast food chains grew rapidly in our country as it is popular for among the people with regards to the taste of the food, its convenience in certain occasions, and other services it may offer (playhouse for example).
4. To this day, a lot of people suffer from different types of diseases brought about by unhealthy food consumption. These diseases include but not limited to obesity, heart diseases, diabetes mellitus, kidney diseases, blood-related diseases, cancer, eye defects, and multiple organ failure.
