Chicken Intestines, Pork Intestines and Blood---BEFORE YOU REACT, PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION BELOW!
Before any of you react, i would like to explain this photo in detail....
People from some of the richer, wealthier countries would discard the intestines of any meat... they would first get rid of the insides, then with the chicken, manufacturers throw away the head, its feet, its neck... they have no use for it after all.... but let me repeat...
this is the case for the WEALTHIER countries... i hesitate to name them...
this is not the case for 3rd world countries such as mine, the Philippines...
the fact that we eat all the above-mentioned animal parts only points to one pertinent and relevant truth that is part of every Filipino's lives...
POVERTY...
poverty, necessity, lack of food are factors that prompt us to be resourceful and in doing so, forces us to make use of things that other people would deem unimportant...
so, to some people, this picture maybe graphic and disgusting but to me.. this is life...
life as Filipinos have come to accept it....
don't get me wrong... i'm not in any way ashamed.... i actually EAT the stuff...
it's part of my heritage...
the whole point of this is to describe Filipinos as a resilient, resourceful, content and HAPPY race---and of that, I AM TRULY PROUD...
