Unlimited the term use for restaurants offering ‘’eat all you can’’ promos. Unli-drinks, Unli-soup, Unli-dessert but the most favored of all are Unli-Rice promos. We Filipinos have the traditional way of eating dishes and it is partnering every dish with rice, that’s why many restaurants, fast foods and other canteens offer unli-rice promos because of the market that Filipinos are fond of eating rice.
But recently , Sen. Cynthia Villar proposed to Ban Unli Rice promotions on restaurants and other establishments, according to her eating plenty of rice can cause diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity and it does not promote healthy eating habits, she also stated that restaurants should serve more vegetables instead.
“Ipagbawal na yang unlimited rice, masama yan. Pagbawal na natin yang unlimited rice kasi nagkakasakit tayo gawa ng unlimited rice na yan; we should learn how to eat vegetables,”
“I think we should learn how to eat vegetables because it’s healthier. Kasi sasabihin mas mura ang rice sa vegetables eh ang mahal naman magpagamot ng diabetes,” she said during the hearing on rice production and consumption.
“We should not encourage well-milled rice. Kung pwedeng brown rice, brown rice na lang. Kasi pag kinain mo, mabigat sa tiyan, konti lang nakakain mo.”
As an advocate of healthier eating she also promoted the consumption of brown rice instead o white commercial rice. Also she added that it will help our government achieve rice self sufficiency goal by 2020. As she is the current chairwoman of the senate committee on agriculture and food.
Netizens reactions are divided, some says that it is good idea for Filipinos to easily control eating but some says that it is unfair for those people who eat once a day for they depend on unli promotions to fill their empty stomach.
