The Luther Burger, a bacon cheeseburger which employs a glazed donut in place of each bun.

Junk food is a term describing food that is perceived to be unhealthy or having poor nutritional value, according to Food Standards Agency. The term is believed to have been coined by Michael Jacobson, director of the Centre for Science in the Public Interest, in 1972.^[1] The term has since become common usage.

Junk food typically contains high levels of fat, salt or sugar and numerous food additives such as monosodium glutamate and tartrazine; at the same time, it is lacking in proteins, vitamins and fiber, among others. It is popular with suppliers because it is relatively cheap to manufacture, has a long shelf life and may not require refrigeration. It is popular with consumers because it is easy to purchase, requires little or no preparation, is convenient to consume and has lots of flavor. Consumption of junk food is associated with obesity, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and dental cavities. There is also concern about the targeting of marketing at children.

[edit] What is junk food?

What constitutes a junk food may be confusing and, according to critics, includes elements of class snobbery and moral judgement. For example, fast food such as hamburgers, and French fries supplied by companies such as McDonald's, KFC and Pizza Hut are often perceived as junk food whereas the same meals supplied by more up-market outlets such as Pizza Express or Nando's are not despite often having the same or worse nutritional content.^[1] Other foods such as Foie Gras, roast potatoes and bread are not considered junk food despite having limited nutritional content. Similarly, Breakfast cereals are often regarded as healthy but may have high levels of sugar, salt and fat.^[2]

Many critics believe that junk food is not harmful when consumed as part of a balanced diet and some believe that the term should not be used at all.^[3]

Bache bhagwaan ke roop hote hai...Bhagwaan kabhi galat nahi bolte hai..Us hisab se, whatever bache say is 100% right...Hence the myth that broccoli and Karela are good and sweets and chocolates are bad is indeed a myth...😳😃

^^^who said chocolate and sweets are bad? myths are always myths 😆 😆 😆 anything in excess is bad, eating sweets in moderation is ok, eating junk food in excess can lead to addiction to junk food and then you consume junk food all the time
