FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD TO COUNTER COVID-19




The barangay gave loads o f eat goods per resident. Aside from these, I think we should have ready-to-eat food banks. In every barangay, let us have cooked foods as not all of our kababayan have a stove or can afford to buy a cooking stove.

I myself don't cook at home as I don't eat rice and would rather have "gadgad" fresh fruits and vegetables,  Then I also eat noodles which could be cooked by just adding water. Otherwise, I also go out to eat where I can find a variety of cooked foods to choose from

Each barangay must have a ready table for children, PWDS and senior citizens who may not have the capability to cook.

And, and, we must ask the chef not to overcook vegetables. I notice that  even in posh restos, vegetables are served very hot which then implies that their nutrients have been reduced in strength if not done away with completely.

Then at supermarkets and markets, we must have shelves that have dried fruits and vegetables which are ready to eat. More dried fruits like raisins, apricots, mushrooms, nuts, kangkong, etc. Let us encourage our food manufacturers to produce them in millions and sell them cheaply. Nuts are especially good for senior citizens in order to make our minds active and far from suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Of course, fruit juices must be abundant. I notice that at supermarkets all of the juices are made by foreign manufacturers from Thailand, Taiwan,  and other Asian countries. We must encourage our food manufacturers to get into this direction of fruit juice manufacturing. The anti-Covid-19 gang must make sure that they enter the field of food manufacturing so that the operations gear to healthy foods.
t
I particularly like drinking milk and eating cheese, which are good as sources of Vitamin D for bones and teeth. Bu they are so expensive. Government must get into importing these goods in order to lower the costs. Let us not leave this to the importers as they put in 30 to 40% in order to recover their costs and have a large margin of profit.

Let us eat glorious, nutritious foods and keep our people really, really healthy.
