Vol.3, No.1B

Abstract

Most Filipinos are fond of home-cooked meals, but due to their hectic schedules, they tend to eat at fast food restaurants. As a result, several successful restaurants have increased their branches locally and internationally due to the overwhelming demand of millions of Filipino customers. However, health experts warn that fast food has more negative and serious effects on Filipino communities than positive outcomes. Fast food can cause vitamin deficiencies that may, in turn, lead to diseases.

This study utilized the descriptive method for collecting information about the cause and effect of eating at Jollibee Corporation on the health of BSHM students. The researcher gathered data using survey questionnaires administered via Google Forms to fifty (50) respondents at Bestlink College of the Philippines.

The survey results show that most of the respondents are female, and most are between the ages of 21 and 22 years old. All of them are single, and according to the survey, most students who eat at fast food restaurants have a monthly income of less than 1000 or more than 1000.

Based on the survey, the respondents have reasons for eating at fast food restaurants and consuming fast food one to five times a month. The highest reason for consuming fast food is the craving that they can control. Respondents know that obesity is a possible effect of eating fast food and that cravings can be substituted with healthier food to avoid the possible negative effects of eating fast food. Healthy food can be made easily and inexpensively.

Based on the gathered data and conclusions drawn, the researcher formulated a cause and effect of Jollibee Corporation on health to determine the effects of fast food on health and what the respondents need to do to control their fast food consumption. The faculty should utilize modern ways of teaching in this new normal and assist the students in basic learning in their chosen field of expertise in the hospitality industry. This could give motivation to the students, the desire to graduate, awareness of current opportunities, and the drive to pursue their chosen career. Respondents also recommended that the faculty communicate efficiently and effectively with online learners to prepare them for their careers amidst the new normal
