Today, with the numerous advances in related fields of technology, most if not all, of these problems are just a memory of the past.

In these places are common sights of obese children and other unhealthy-looking consumers. It does not stop here. The situation gets worse. Remember the time that the price of staple food like rice was sky-high because of limited supply? Well, that’s not the case now.

Thus, it is up to us to effectively filter what goes into our mouths lest以免 we suffer from unhealthy foods’ effects.
