CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

School meals are an opportunity to teach lifelong healthy eating habits. One

of the biggest challenges is that students often have many different food choices, and

despite the new regulations, unfortunately not all of them are healthy.

The Agusan National High School- Senior high grade 12 students under the

Accountancy and Business Management strand are obliged to make at least two

products to sell that is cheaper and healthier.

The researchers came up with an idea of Vegetable Lumpia and the Creamy

Mango Tapioca. Vegetable Lumpia is a filipino appetizer consist of Carrot and Chayote

Squash, which is more nutritious than grilled pork and that is to be seasoned and sold

either for meal or snacks. The Creamy Mango Tapioca is a type of dessert that is

perfect for the hot season. Tapioca is high in carbs and calories, so it is not a

traditionally healthful food. However, it can help a person meet the recommended daily

allowance of several important nutrients. It can also be a tasty, nutritious food choice

for a student who needs to gain weight.

 The business is concerned more on the health of the customers, which is also

the primary concern of all businesses. We make sure that our product, the Vegetable

Lumpia and the Creamy Mango Tapioca is nutritious and clean and definitely would love

by the customers. Moreover, we are not only concerned with the health of the

customers but also on their budget by offering a delicious food at a very affordable

price.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The proponents were encouraged to conduct a feasibility study on The

“Vegetable Lumpia” business with the main ingredient of Chayote Squash and Carrot
Geese and also the ‘’Creamy Mango Tapioca’’ that is made with
mangoes, tapioca pearls, and milk. The proponents would also like to know if this new
kind of product could still be feasible in spite of the presence of the several businesses
selling other healthy foods not only the students of the Agusan National High School,
Senior High campus but in the entire Agusan National High School. This research also
aims to look into the decision-making of the Agusan National High Scool students about
their eating habits according to their food choices, food intake, and lifestyles.

According to the World Health Organization, the habits children develop early in
life may encourage them to adopt unhealthy dietary practices which persist into
adulthood, increasing the likelihood of overweight, obesity and
associated health problems such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases and also
according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, a
healthy diet: a. includes a variety of foods from different food groups; b. meets the
individual needs for calories and nutrients; c. is safe, with no risk from toxins, bacteria,
mold or chemicals; d. is enjoyable and culturally acceptable; and e. is available and
sufficient each day and all year round.
JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY

The lack of school canteen near the buildings of senior high and Special Program

in the Arts is a problem to be addressed for the students to buy healthy and budget

friendly food that are accessible for them without walking far. Therefore, to address this

issue and as per part of the requirements on the subject of Business Simulation, the

researchers along with the other groups will be selling viands and snacks. 4 sis will be

selling Vege Lumpia which is packed budget-friendly meal which has vegetables that

very nutritious and wrapped it by the Lumpia wrapper. 4 sis will also be selling Creamy

Mango Tapioca, a very delicious kind of dessert that has milk that is rich of calcium,

vitamins and other nutrients.

The 4 sis would be located in the booth in front of the senior high school building

given that no other groups are sending these products too. The business will benefit the

consumers on budget, the school and the students through fixing booth with 10% of the

profit. The researchers decided to venture a food business that would be selling Vege

Lumpia &Creamy Mango Tapioca. It will be accessible located in Agusan National High

School given that there is still no canteen at Agusan National High School-Senior High

School.
