If you are from US...you would already know how FDA is a lapdog of corporations and allows all sorts of chemicals in the food. In Philippines its worse, There is not even a fake government agency (there is but does not count like FDA) here to stop any level at all..
You might have noticed how many women here have mustache developing, thanks to Hormones injected into Chickens, Pork and beef for quick growth ...The hormones are messing with women estrogen level and producing male hormones also...

I have met many girls, who know atleast one relative or family members who have died of cancer. I know how they lie and try to ask for money...but this conversation was with a Nurse who has worked in Malaysia and gulf and came to Ph to take care of her parents ...She is a Nurse in QC and she was telling me about the increase in Cancer rate in PH and I showed her all alternative research articles and she couldn't believe so much have happened in alternative research field about Cancer...
The level of cancer related death in PH has reached epidemic proportions.
I"m from India and we have very less cancer rate as we eat lot of vegetables and turmeric, spices that nullify carcinogens in food to some level...Filipinos are eating all Non-Veg food making their bodies extremely Acidic which makes them vulnerable to cancer.
But now, My stomach is always sick, I have grown old not like before..I'm nearing 40 now ....I'm mostly confined to home for few days, if I have a crazy night out or eat some filipino food...I'm always feeling tired after eating food outside ..there is this big energy dump and the Kitchen here is so small I can't bring myself up for cooking after online work at night Plus vegetables are extremely expensive all sprayed with DDT....
The least toxic thing in all of poison is Cigarette ..which will only kill me in say 6-7 years time

----------
There are some mall in fort that "Claim" its organic vegetables ....I have no choice but to take them, wash them and steam them and eat them raw to make my body Alkaline and balance it for now..
Now, we will always read from some "exceptions" that I"m doing fine, I have been in PH for so and so years and it has not effected me...This is the problem..until, nothing happens to you, you will never care about the people dying all around ....untill its too late
I have been eating Vegetables a lot all my life..I can feel the instant difference in my body now, even since last few years...The amount of preservative they are adding to cut cost is at an insane level now...some of the local Filipino owned restaurants are doing it worse than McDonalds i feel

If any members that know of any Sane places in Manila to eat..Please let me know....Thanks
