Fish balls, Squid balls, Banana-cue, Camote-cue, Kwek-kwek, are just a few of the street foods that are popular to most Filipinos. Are they delicious? Sure yes with secret spices and special mixes that have been approved in the true Pinoy taste. Are they affordable? Very much so that the basic Pinoy are its main clientele. Are they hygienic? Let us examine….
Preparation and display – like fast foods, the final preparation and display occur when the customer orders the meal which can be consumed where it is purchased or taken away. It is usually in an open environment, hence open to dust and other air pollutants.
In addition, most street food vendors are largely ignorant of basic food safety issues. Consequently, street foods are commonly exposed to dangerous abuses. Food is susceptible to contamination at all stages of the food preparation. Raw materials are therefore important to the safety of food because of the biological, chemical and physical hazards that may be introduced to the operation and which may persist through preparation.
We should therefore take our health needs seriously. It is also imperative we remind the street food vendors about their obligations. It is always said that prevention is better than cure.
On another note, have we also thought of the food we buy at the grocery store is laced with herbicides, pesticides, preservatives, flavour enhancers, etc..? How about when eating at restaurants, we have no control over the cleanliness of the kitchen or the practices of those preparing the food.
Street food allows you to observe the process and refuse to purchase if conditions are not to your satisfaction.
Hmmm, just a food for thought…..

Here are my points:
*1st paragraph,1st sentence- replace’ to most Filipinos’ – ‘among most Filipinos’
3rd sentence- choose between ‘sure’ and ‘yes’ it’s quite redundant
5th sentence- improve it.
*2nd paragraph, 1st sentence- display occur —> display occurs
Where it is purchased —> when it is purchased
2nd sentence- replace the comma after ‘environment’ with a period and capitalize ‘Hence’ then put a comma after it.
*3rd paragraph 1st sentence- food safety issues —> food safety procedures
*Some of your sentences are vague and confusing I hope you could improve them.
*You have a nice angle but it could have been a great article if there was substantiation. Also, with the angle that you have, your article is quite short because there are a lot of information that one should learn from reading your article.
An 89.
Your Ideas in the first paragraph are brilliant, however they were poorly executed due to number of grammatical errors, Nash mentioned them in his comment.
The article is too short to convey its message, I didn’t get the message you want to communicate.
the ending is vague and lackluster.
be creative next time
do more reserach before hitting the computer!
thanks!!
I am a bit confused in some sentences there are some grammatical errors
too short messages can mislead your readers if you want them to get your message you have to communicate well..still you have a strong lead 😀
your grade is 89

The thought is there but like what they have commented, you failed to execute the real message of the article. Please always check your grammar and the choice of words you will use because it adds spice to your article. Although it is too brief, your lead is acceptable. Here is a thumbs-up for you. Job well done Aldous!

The article should’ve been better if you put scenarios like how do vendors make their food? It could’ve been a great angle if you focused on a certain food and how it was dirtily prepared. The article is short.
Your grade is 86.
Its good that you focus only in one angle, but it lacks information. The article is too short, that’s why as a reader, I don’t get what you are trying to point out. I know you can do well. Just research, and think of a more effective, and unique angle next time.
Grade:88
Short and sweet. I find it interesting that you’ve touch not only on the guilty pleasure that street foods brought to us. You have also emphasize the dangers that it will bring upon its preparation. Another good point is how you stressed out the preservative and chemicals on the foods that we buy in the grocery store which concerns cleanliness. Congrats.
Your grade is 90 🙂
I think but I’m sure you didn’t angle the story.
Yes, it’s short but it’s informative
grade 87
Create catchy subtitles for your readers or else they will lose interest in what they read. Also, please take note that fish balls, squid balls and the like do ont start with capital lettes because they are not proper nouns (see lead paragraph). proper use of punctuation marks should also be practiced.
