The Food Bank

FOOD BANK in the Philippines? Do we have Food Bank in the Philippines?

I DON'T KNOW. Really I don't know if there is Food Bank in the Philippines that you can avail of free food. There is nothing like that in Philippines. Everything there is for sale. Why is it only the rich and wealthy countries have FOOD BANK where rich people can get free food?

I really cannot provide the best answer. I'm just a human being relying on what other people are saying why they have to get free food from the food bank. Actually television shows provide some news about it.

Benefactors of free food:

1. Unemployed.
2.  Employed but their salary only can avail of  paying their rental homes, mortgages and other important utilities they need to pay before they can eat.
3. Food is so cheap and without tax,  farmers  who have surplus from their farms can provide to give free food to the food bank and if its free why you should not take advantage of it. Life is so hard nowadays.
4. Who else benefit from the food bank? Schools should take advantage of it so that they can use the food for their Home Economics class and teach the students on about Economics, Food and Nutrition.
5. Food On Wheels that offer soup kitchen for the homeless.
6. New migrants who have problem adjusting to the new environment and the shocking ordeal of the standard of living in Canada is hard to face and the need to adjust is a must.
7. Hospital and Homes For The Aged who had problems with low budget.
8. Church and congregation.
9. Volunteers of Good Causes.
10. Victims of  Disaster: Flood, Storms, Fire, Earthquake, Famine and other calamities.

Why Food Bank is not a priority in the Philippines? Tell me your answer. Or you want me to tell you.

FOOD sells so much in the Philippines. It is the prime commodity. Phillipines has to sell their food. Souce of revenues. It is one of the main source of  the economy. That's why millions of people go to fastfood and restaurants almost everyday. However relief goods are different, it is FREE when you are victims of disaster.

Seldom we eat here in Canada as matter of fact we tried not to eat. Or we eat because we have to so that we have energy to do work. The obesity problem is somewhat the "problem" that make us not to over eat. Winter is the season that make us hibernate and fat get stored and its hard to eliminate the fat. Hah. sounds like a bear! lol
