PERSUASIVE SPEECH OBJECTIVE:
I would like to encourage my fellow food lovers to be more aware of how fastfood chains affect our culture.
INTRODUCTION:
Fast food chains here in the Philippines are like mushrooms, popping out from different places. They are very popular nowadays because of their mouth-watering food and their fast service. It is part of every family’s bonding time during weekend. Our trip is not complete when we don’t pass by a fast food chain to eat our favorite food. In fact, children nowadays are very familiar with the food that most of the fast food chains are offering. Fast food is affordable and less time consuming but there are certain factors that causes a threat to the Philippine culture. Fast food chains may be beneficial to people but it can also be the reason to the weakening of our culture.

2. In 1958, two enterprising college students, Frank and Dan Carney, opened a small pizza restaurant, which they called Pizza Hut, in their hometown in Wichita, Kansas.
3. Another fast food chain emerged in 1937, when Vernon Rudolph opened his own doughnut shop in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, called Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.

The children then eat by themselves, as household helpers reheat leftovers or buy food from fast food chains (Panopio, Rolda 170).

Fast food chains can benefit a lot of people in some way, but they should also consider the factors that will be affected by these fast food chains. We should restore our culture through simple things like eating our native dishes. Make time to plan for your weekly meals so that the food that you eat will be balanced. Also, this is the best time that you should learn how to cook for yourself. It's better if the food that you will is prepared by you. Learning how to cook is a good skill especially when your parents are always busy. Filipinos should appreciate the richness of their culture and learn how to spread and be proud of it. According to a website, people should make their culture better. Instead of being influenced by others, Filipinos should be able to show more of their irreplaceable culture because it is their identity that they are really Filipinos.
