Street food and cleanliness drive

Street food is ready-to-eat food or drink that is displayed in a street or other public places. It's
usually sold from a portable food booth, food cart, or food truck, and it's supposed to be eaten
right away. These foods provide both the urban and rural poor with affordable, convenient, and
often nutritious food, as well as attractive and varied food for tourists. According to a 2007 study
from the Food and Agriculture Organization, 2.5 billion people eat street food every day.

After researching this matter, this paper will discuss the harmful effects of consuming
street food and how street vendors use it as their primary source of income, giving a method of
self-employment and the opportunity to build business skills with little capital input.

The cleanliness of street food is essential for the well-being who will consume the food and
drinks. Interpreting my investigation, I discovered that most street food vendors have poor food
handling practices and operate in unsanitary conditions. Eating street food might result in
foodborne diseases such as food poisoning and diarrhea as a result of poor hygiene procedures
by vendors, insanitary conditions at food vending places, and other factors.

Subsequently, the merchants then stored it in freezers to keep it from decomposing and
emitting a bad odor and sold it again the next day. They also do the same thing with the sauce,
which most street food eaters consider to be great. Because most vendors choose places near
schools or supermarkets, this already offers us an indication that most street meals are
contaminated and unsafe. Although both consumers and street food vendors had a strong grasp
of food safety, only 26.7 percent of vendors used or were completely equipped with hand-
washing facilities, even though more than 60 percent of vendors wore clean and neat clothes and
masks.

Street food, according to the Bogor Agricultural Industry, creates jobs. Street food vendors
are drawn to this profession because it allows them to make relatively high wages while also
allowing them to support their families. In the Philippines, Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko"
Moreno banned street vendors from the streets to recover the public space that vendors had been
using for their small businesses to alleviate the city's traffic problems. As a result, several
merchants lost their main source of income and protested about Mayor Isko Moreno's cleaning
program. Nevertheless, Mayor Isko Moreno simply wanted to clean up the city and solve the
problem that had been plaguing the city for years because street vendors were disorganized and
their spaces did not adhere to the cleanliness drive.
 After analyzing the information, I will aim to spread my analysis in social media to achieve
my goal to give awareness and lessons which is giving the vendors a proper place for them to sell
foods and give them enough water supply to ensure that the ingredients they will use are clean
and fresh. However, they must pay for the space they would consume so that the economic
process will run accordingly. I will be creating related information connected to street food
safety and cleanliness that will reach the students, teachers, parents, netizens, and even vendors.

I will be requiring at least a week to develop this project and I will start my campaign right
after I have uploaded it on social media. I will also be using my resources so the funding for this
project. Our expenses may only include the internet and computer shop rentals in case we need
more time outside school hours.
