The pictures here show the other side of the nutrition month celebration of Iloilo Province.

The first side, of course, is the set of photos depicting the “bongga” side – replete with balloons released, ribbon cutting, forum on nutrition and breastfeeding, poster making contest for kids, and entertainment. This major face of the fete highlights a giant fast food chain as main sponsor, which to state it bluntly, should be lumped together with both foreign and locally owned quick chow restos for putting the health of people around the world at risk what with their toxic, artificial and even carcinogenic ingredients and preservatives.

The other side of the nutrition awareness month celebration, of course, is already stated above as depicted by the pictures here a solitary makeshift kiosk put up by the LGU of San Miguel, Iloilo selling indigenous food and beverages – different rice cakes, coconut candy (bukayo), organic fruits and and earthen kettles (koron). The beverages it sells include “instant tahu” (ginger tea) and “instant kalawag” (turmeric tea), tubers which are not only locally grown but should rightly be called “super foods” or “nutrieceuticals) because they pack with nutrients and substances that promote good health and fight diseases. (Comnpare them with the foods produced by giant fast food chains that endanger the human body.)

The first day of the exhibit (Monday, July 14), there were two exhibitors, the LGUs of San Miguel and Leon, at the covered alley of the capitol ground. The latter packed up the next day as it ran out of goods – organic fruits and vegetables which capitol employees swarmed on.

Kit Resano, a capitol retiree, notes that instead of de facto endorsing the giant food chain and its unhealthy food products, organizers should have advocated for home grown products so to encourage producers not to say, promote nutrition. What more can I say that the solitary nook where these
