Item Restricted The poor and their food consumption in the Philippines(2013-10) Ching, Erwin M.; Bautista, Jan Mikhaila C.; Ducanes, Geoffrey M.This research study examines the health condition of the people who belongs to the bottom 30 percent of the income population using calorie intake as the basis for their healthiness. It examines whether the poor and non-poor are achieving the required daily calorie intake of 2000 kcal per day. Capitalizing on the Family Income Expenditure Survey, the study used the 2003, 2006 and 2009 results to check whether they are achieving their daily requirement and how are they doing through the years. The study uses the Food Exchange List obtained from Food Exchanges Lists for Meal Planning [FNRI, 2008] to convert their food expenditure to its calorie equivalent. The study shows that from 2003 to 2009, the calorie intake of the poor is increasing. However, they are still below the required calorie intake of2000 kcal per day.
