COFFEE

According to Coffee Addict, a cup of coffee in the morning is the star in

almost every home’s breakfast. The popularity of this beverage has caught the
attention of many researchers and its ingredients have become one of the most
frequently researched among beverages.

As to the benefits of it, drinking coffee has revealed a contributor to health

improvements like individual’s alert status and ability to concentrate, thus aiding
tired feeling or lethargy. More studies have already shown how caffeine improves
mental performance and helps out in the maintenance of high level attention for
longer periods as well as the attention span of some people. With what was said
above, no wonder why there are many coffee drinkers in the world!

Based from Valerie Tort, a lot of people are becoming coffee drinkers. She
also said that coffee has already become a part of the everyday Filipino diet.
According to her, it also created a harmonious relationship with different kinds of
food. Some people prefer their coffee to be brewed, others favor instant coffee,
and selected individuals love flavored coffee concoctions. She also mentioned
that coffee is a versatile drink perfect to be served hot or cold and could be
considered as one of the most popular social drinks in town.

FOOD ADEQUACY

According to Cabanilla, L. S. and Paunlagui, M., here in the Philippines,

most people spend close to 60% of their budget on food. As depicted in the table
most of the respondents have enough food to eat in their meal during breakfast
because according to the literature gathered, Filipinos spend close to 60% of
their budget to their food that is why no wonder why most of them do have
enough food to eat in every major meals they have.

 According to Rolf Kunnemann, there is no doubt among the experts that
adequate food is available or it could be produced with current resources not only
on a global scale, but also in almost every country-even in those known for
persistent malnutrition. A lot of the poor or developing countries produce more
than enough food not only for their internal markets, but also even for export, with
hunger and malnutrition nonetheless persisting in the country. In a market
economy, people who are too poor to exercise effective demand will not have
food (unless they produce food for themselves, or receive food through
transfers). Today, hunger and malnutrition are not about availability of food, but
are a matter of rights and entitlements.
