00:00It is possible for the health department to prohibit Mukbang Vlogs or the online content of spreading food waste.
00:08DOH said that this has a bad effect on health, not only for vloggers but also for those who are watching this.
00:16Marie Zumali was hit by a car.
00:21The famous Mukbang vlogger Dongs Apata passed away on June 13.
00:25After eating fried chicken, the department of health was heartbroken.
00:32Along with the investigation by the health secretary Ted Herbosa,
00:36if there is a connection to the Mukbang, Dongs' death,
00:40he also issued a public health warning against Mukbang.
00:44He also asked for this to be regulated.
00:46It's a bad practice because people make content by overeating.
00:51And overeating is not healthy.
00:53It will lead to obesity and obesity will lead to hypertension, heart conditions,
00:59non-communicable diseases, and even heart attacks.
01:01DOH said that based on the studies,
01:04those who watch this may go home with eating disorder or internet addiction.
01:09That's why it's very dangerous to broadcast this on social media.
01:13Because other people copy it.
01:15Other people will also do the same because they earn money from doing a video vlog of Mukbang.
01:21So, it's risky for them.
01:23If there is a connection between Dongs' death and Mukbang,
01:28Secretary Herbosa said, it's possible that they banned Mukbang vlogs.
01:33Because you are promoting unhealthy behavior to the Filipinos.
01:37So, I can ban it locally.
01:39I can propose for banning Mukbang locally.
01:43Even ask the DICT to stop those sites because it's like food pornography.
01:48Making people eat like glutens.
01:51You can earn income as long as it does not produce health risks.
01:55If you're earning income from something that is a public health threat, I will have to stop you.
02:00The full-time content creator and Mukbanger, Richard, understands that DOH is nice.
02:06And they have nothing to do but follow if this is banned.
02:09But he explained that it's not all bad that they banned Mukbang.
02:14We have a lot of viewers who are sick, who don't have money to eat.
02:18They are thankful to us because they have money when they watch our videos.
02:24Of course, that's our fuel to continue.
02:29The content creator is in the discipline if his content is bad.
02:35I only eat once a day.
02:37And when I'm low-carb, I'm disciplined.
02:44Even for regular people, it depends on our discipline in eating.
