Food!!!

Since the Bagobo's livelihood are metal crafts, basketry, agriculture, fishing... most of their food is obtained through their livelihood... their food includes, rice, camote (sweet potato), corn, banana, coconut, sago. They also eat meat such as deers, pigs, chicken, monkeys (monkey meat, are not preferred by the majority though), grasshoppers, crabs, eels, and fishes since most of their food is also acquired through hunting. The Bagobo usually has a garden where they get their vegetables, fruits and other greens. For the flavoring, they use salt (secured from the coast native and Chinese) and pepper (obtained out of the mashing of the fruit of a wild pepper known as the katombal. And I bet that they are very far from diseases such as UTI, diabetis and kidney stones since they are not used to food preservatives like us today. How lucky, hehehe...
