    Anything with more than 5 ingredients.

    No salads or mixed vegetables, bummer.

    I tend to stay away from high sodium and man made chemicals. I just don't feel great after I eat a hot dog or boxed macaroni and cheese, etc. Will I eat organic hot dog or homemade mac & cheese? YUP!

    that must be very difficult when your doctor prescribes medicine for you.

    If you make mac and cheese at home or cook in general....isn't that man made "chemicals" as heating/cooling things creates chemical reactions?

    But did man make the chemical reaction, or did the heat?

    Chips, candy, cookies,cake, pie, bread, sweetened beverages including bottled juices, anything with added sugar, anything with hydrogenated oils, pancakes, donuts, individual packets of sweetened oatmeal, cured meats, french fries, pasta, batter fried anything.

    Mostly agree with the list above although to me bread, pancakes, and pasta are not junk food whatsoever. There may be junky versions of these but in general I do NOT consider them junk.

    Cookies, cake and pie are in that grey area...not healthy choices most of them, but you can make "lighter" and more wholesome versions.

    However if it's super processed with a million additives then yes.
