I'm sick of Filipino food slander coming from foreigners and Filipinos.

It's always the same shit on social media, Filipino food is unhealthy. Everywhere you go it's "unhealthy".

Tapos makikita mo puti yung nagpost o half. Tapos post nila puro adobo, ube, halo halo, tengeneng lumpia. Girl, credentials questionable. Experience, lacking. Filipino card revoked. Worse than those are the full Filipinos who take a shit on our food because they wanna look special or different to the foreigners.

Kase you cannot tell me our food is unhealthy when we have a lot of vegetable dishes that say otherwise. And we KNOW there are veggie dishes that are not drenched in fat, or sodium, or swimming in gata.

Tapos nakakainis din yung mga nagsasabi na it's not easily accessible. You lying to yourself babe. You can get a decent variety of vegetables for p300-p500 pesos sa palengke (HINDI SA GROCERY PLS LANG MAHAL TALAGA SA HYPERMART/ROBINSONS/ETC)

Tapos pag kakain sa labas "pUr0 maTaTAbA aT hIgh s0Dium sA rEstaUraNt--" who told you to order the high fat and high sodium dishes big back? Wala ba talagang gulay or is it more a case of you not prioritizing healthy food because it doesn't taste as good? There are literally healthier options wherever you go.

All I know is PH food is balanced. It is literally the same like every other fucking country that has its fair share of indulgent and simple food. If you're complaining it's high fat and high sodium, you're not picking your food well and it's a reflection of your eating habits and not the culture. No one shits on Korean food even though they have Gopchang and their culture literally popularized cheese in instant ramen. No one shits on Thai food even though a lot of their food has coconut milk. Literally stfu and eat your damn vegetables.

PS. Also, YOU CAN LESSEN THE AMOUNT OF FAT AND SALT IN YOUR DISHES DON'T ACT LIKE SOMEONE'S POINTING A GUN TO YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU'RE COOKING, KAREN. A FILIPINO RECIPE IS STILL FILIPINO IF YOU LESSEN THE SALT. THESE ARE NOT REAL PROBLEMS DAMN IT.
