`Junk Food’ is food that has
been produced for its pungent taste rather than for its health value.Its great
fun to eat and it can look very appealing, but it is not good for health value.
It often contains added chemicals which make its taste soothing but are
unhealthy. It usually contains a lot of
animal fat or suger. Foods like chips, burger, crips, cakes, biscuts are
high in suger. When we eat a large amount of fat, our bodies turn them into
fatty tissue, and a large amount of suger can damage our teeth and skin. Junk
food lacks the vitamins and minerals we need.
Although people occasionally eat
junk fod, the body does best when it is given a healthy balance of nutrients
from freshly garden homemade foods.
