Dr. Ty Matejowsky examines prevailing fast food consumption patterns and nutritional perceptions in the contemporary Philippines. Survey data from a 2005 consumer survey, completed by over 160 participants from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, provides revealing insights into how this style of cuisine is now conceptualized and used locally. Survey findings establish a basis from which general conclusions about fast-food’s growing impact on healthways in moderate- and low-income countries can be drawn.
Dr Matejowsky is a cultural anthropologist and assistant professor at UCF, and his interests lie in economic anthropology, globalization, and culture change.
