As a travel writer who has frequently visited the Philippines, I can assure you of something: The Philippines has one of the highest ratios per population, of fast food restaurants- both local and foreign chains- as compared to several other neighboring countries.

And a visit to any " junk food" joint in the Philippines will reveal, it's not only men or males who gorge the calorie laden food there. An equal number of their customers, if not more, are also females.

In the Philippines, I found it was "trendy" to patronize joints that serve "junk food" as you characterize it.

To be honest, I think that's a load of bullshit

No they do...but sometimes its rare if the girl if sort of poor. Right now many can't afford rice. However, overall yes, Filipina does eat junk food. For example, McDonalds....10 years ago just a few in Manila, now there's one every 1/2 mile or so.

The country is changing. Don't listen to your bf because he just wants you to be healthy, and have good feelings that come from eating right, and have bettter self esteem, and look good. You don't need a guy like him :)

yesorno..what?

thats a BIG LIE!!!.......my sisters loves to eat junk food...and thats like what most of the girls in the Philippines like

theres just something wrong with ur Filipino boyfriend...

that's not very true. filipinos, both male and female, are suckers for junkfoods and are following the steps of americans on obesity. fastfood chains are found in every corner and you can see them full anytime of the day. one true thing, though, is that filipinos are also conscious about their health more than the americans and most likely would keep from eating junkfoods every now and then.

There might be people in the Philippines that do not eat junkfood. And that is true for all countries around the world, especially people in the farflung areas & certain types of Filipinos/Filipinas in the cities.

But generally the Filipino people are very much like the Americans except that most eat a lot of rice & they eat it many times in a day even in every meal.

Not true. Girls, more than boys, eat junk foods.

Are you Filipino? Do you eat a lot of junk food? My guess is he is just being a jerk and is trying to send you a message.

The term "junk food" is misleading. People assume you mean "fast food". However, I have seen plenty of people eating some things that I might call junk or garbage and it is gross. But, those things don't come from McDonalds or Jollibee, or Pizza Hut. Its the stuff like lechon baboy, ginamus, and dried fish that looks too gross to put in my mouth.
And another thing.......who is your boyfriend to say what is right or not right? He got some issues.

it's a modern day philippines.wherever you go.there are plenty of fast food restaurants.he probably told you lies so you dont have to gain weight.a lts of pinay are to busy working long hours.dont have time to cook at home.so they ended up eating out.

Everytime I come back to USA I always bring a big big box full of junk food!!!

some people just choose not to eat junk food because it's unhealthy...

kyt

We eat junk foods. But not as much as Americans. You can tell it by our built. It's not a gross thing to see either. Your boyfriend just wants you not to eat it because it's unhealthy. But junk foods are eaten mostly by kids, not by grown ups.

dave i am

Define your junk food... Cause maybe your junk foods are different from our junk food... But all in all... that's not true at all

anna m

scratch that fact. not true.

Wilma Doesn't. It might damage her figure, and she is a model, you know.

Most Filipinas are taught from childhood to recognize the value of home cooking over junkfood.

Everybody who responds to this question has a computer and the resources to have a better life. What about all of the por Filipino's? Do you think they have miney for junk food, when they can not even afford to put rice on their table, or buy school books and other life neccesities. Think real hard.

Between 88 and 91 Filipino's in the Philippines. Do you the vast majority of the Filipino people can afford junk food, when they can not even afford eat three good meals a day.

For the most part, the average Filipino does not get to eat junk food. In part because there are many remote areas and junk food is not readily available or they do not have the money to purechase junk food.
