Introduction Background of the Study We know today that ingredients and processing steps that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory bodies do not ensure that all the food we eat will contribute to our general nutrition and health. We as food consumers suffer “death by a thousand cuts” because of the poor choices we make, but the food preparation industry also lacks any mechanisms for coordinating or regulating the total intake of nutrients and ingredients on an individual level. In other words, any given food item you consume may be safe to eat, but if you eat too much of it then you take on risk of harming your health. Take salt, for example. We know from decades of research that eating too much salt is associated with poor health and a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. But research also shows that the picture is more complicated than we previously understood. Some people tolerate higher salt intake than others.  The variations in people’s tolerances for potentially toxic foods makes it very difficult to set realistic guidelines .Also, many small factors may be associated with real health problems, but determining causes and effects is still very difficult. We can be more certain of the association between processed foods and poor health than of why our health declines if we eat too much processed meat. Processed meats like sausage are good alternative choices to sweet foods. Hence, if you eat more fibery vegetables and fewer starches with your sausage you’l l enhance what you eat with the flavor of the fat (and salt) in the sausage. On top of the iron and vitamins, some sausage ingredients provide other benefits. Take garlic, for example. When included in chicken sausage garlic not only enhances the flavor of the product but it also provides some of garlic’s natural healthy benefits. In fact, the antioxidant capability of the garlic even helps to preserve the sausage meat longer.   Also, eating a protein-rich breakfast makes it less like you will snack throughout the day.  That is important to reducing the consumption of “empty” calories  from junk food, and eating less healthy foods. But the secret to success lies in when you eat your sausage. It works better for you when consumed as an early morning meal. I. Statement of Objective General Objective   To identify why squash cookies is a healthier processed foods that can alternate to  junk foods Specific Objective   To know the disadvantage of eating junk foods     To determine what makes squash cookies healthier than other cookies     To know the reason why squash was the chosen main ingredients in doing this product  II. Statement of the Problem   This study aims to determine why squash cookies is a healthier processed foods that can alternate to junk foods. Specifically, the following questions will be answered.    General Question:  why squash cookies is a healthier processed foods that can alternate to junk foods ?  Specific Questions:   What is the   disadvantage of eating junk foods ?    what makes squash cookies healthier than other cookies ?   What are the reasons why squash was the chosen main ingredients in doing this product?      Statement of the Hypothesis The researchers guessed that squash cookies is a healthier processed foods that can alternate to junk foods.   III. Alternative Course of Action   Look for a healthy ingredients’  that can make this product unique     Make a list of a possible ingredients of this product    Differentiates squash cookies to an ordinary cookies that can find in the market    Take down notes the health benefits that can get from eating this product   Think of the proper way on how it will become attractive and delicious to people  IV. Area of Concentration This research focuses on how an individual distinguish the essence of eating a healthy processed foods such like squash cookies rather than eating junk food that can harm our body. V. Target Benefits    Consumer  –   To help them know what product will they buy and to be aware on the    Producer of Processed foods  –   To help them innovate their product and to make sure that their product they offer are cholesterol free or low in cholesterol. In doing so, they avoid losing their customers.
