...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Most of the people nowadays are giving much priority on health and wellness of their well being. Proper exercise, adequate sleep and eating nutritious food and well balanced meal, fruits and vegetables are some of the basic correct practices in order to achieve healthy body and well being. However, it is a fact that having well balanced meal a day would require additional expenses and more time to cook and prepare the same. Thus, it would be very difficult for poor families to be able to serve nutritious meal in their dining table. Moreover, there is this perception of people that nutritious foods are not delicious food and ordinarily to some of them tasteless and not delicious to look at especially in the eyes of the children. That is why the goal of every parent in every household to serve appetizing and nutritious meal is always unachieved and has become an empty promise. One way to address this problem is to choose a vegetable or fruit that is not costly, readily available and loaded with nutritional value. Cook or prepare it in such a way that it would look delicious and appetizing for children. In such a way, the children would enjoy the nutritional value and good taste of food. One of the not so costly vegetable is Malunggay (Moringa oleifera). It is considered as “poor man’s vegetable” because it is cheap in price, could be found everywhere and loaded with vitamins and minerals. Aside from eating malunggay, it is also...

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE RESTAURANT Shakey's Pizza was founded in Sacramento, California, on April 30, 1954, by Sherwood "Shakey" Johnson and Ed Plummer. Johnson's nickname resulted from nerve damage following a bout of malaria suffered during World War II. The parlor opened on a weekend, but since the pizza ovens were not yet completed, only beer was served and Shakey took the profits from beer sales and bought ingredients for pizza the following Monday. Shakey personally played dixiel and jazz piano to entertain patrons. Shakey's initially became known outside Sacramento, not for its pizza, but for the jazz program it sponsored on a regional radio network. Shakey Johnson is honored in the American Banjo Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for his longtime use of banjo music at his pizza parlors. Other live music, including piano, was also a staple in the old Shakey's parlors. The original store (a remodeled grocery store)...
