survey:"junk" what foods do u consider to be junk food?

Greasy burgers from fast food places, other greasy foods, excessive cookies and candy.

To me, junk is anything that has calories and no nutritional value. Things like chips and candy bars.

Well I think crap like zero calorie sweeteners are junk. Food should have calories in my opinion. I agree with the nutritional value.

My definition of "junk food" is completely arbitrary, but works for me. "Junk food" doesn't mean "never eat this" to me, but rather "only after you've hit your other macros."

Pop tarts have vitamins and minerals in them. I know, has nothing to do with the question.

Nothing. There are things I consider 'awful' because they're gross (Avacado, Caliuflower, Peanut Butter) but nothing I consider 'junk'.

But I don't get my jollies demonizing food and I certainly don't feel guilty over eating (What a useless emotion to attach to food, my goodness), so that could be why I hold the view I hold.

Pretty much any food prepared in a factory that comes in a box or a bag and doesn't require refrigeration and has more than 2 ingredients.

How would you feel about an apple that had been put in a cardboard box by assembly line workers?

Just like my grandson - he would have thought of this too, he loves to state things to the contrary! funny

Things with very little nutritional value that aren't really even all that tasty. Cheesy poofs or Twinkies.

However, potato chips and Raspberry Zingers are not junk food. Because they're delicious.

Hey ice cream has milk in it and we need calcium right? Chocolate and coffee fight cancer. Now potato chips, I think the potato part is the only good thing in them. LOL I agree they taste good but a good example of what's bad for you. Just my opinion here, don't shoot me! Oh yeah and the raspberry zingers, one of the few things I can never turn down no matter how bad they are for me!

Usually anything I eat and experience guilt about.

cheap candy knockoffs like nothing replaces the real M&M's. or Reeces Peanut Butter cups, if someone tried to duplicate that with cheap blech candy then it woudl be bad.

cheap ice cream that has a bunch of ice crystals in it and tastes watery.

Stuff with numerous ingredients that are difficult to pronounce. Stuff that can live on inside a package for many months... Even years.

What you eat something that was made up of the below?

Alpha-Linolenic-Acid, Asparagine, D-Categin, Isoqurctrin, Hyperoside, Ferulic-Acid, Farnesene, Neoxathin, Phosphatidyl-Choline, Reynoutrin, Sinapic-Acid, Caffeic-Acid, Chlorogenic-Acid, P-Hydroxy-Benzoic-Acid, P-Coumaric-Acid, Avicularin, Lutein, Quercitin, Rutin, Ursolic-Acid, Protocatechuic-Acid, Silver, Tryptophan, Threonine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lycine, Methionine, Cystine, Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, Valine, Argenine, Histidine, Alanine, Aspartic Acid, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Proline, and Serine

I think you named all 21 amino acids...so if you're eating any type of protein, youre eating the building blocks of protein (amino acids). The others are naturally occuring in fruits, vegetables, fish, spices etc. Some are antioxidants.

I would eat everything with the exception of silver...

Guess I did learn something in biochemistry! Lol.

I do see your point though. Just because it has a long, unpronounceable name, doesn't mean it is "junk" or bad for you.

What people don't realize is that absolutely EVERYTHING is made up of chemicals. Scientists need some way of classifying these chemicals and they come up with what may seem like the craziest names. Unfortunately for non-food scientists, it is difficult to separate the good from the bad. But don't get discouraged when reading food labels. Google/Wikipedia are your friends

Yes but the apples I eat do not come in a plastic bag/container nor are they wrapped and they will expire in a relatively short time unlike some manufactured product such as a Twinkie or something along that nature.

Has anyone said anything about freegans yet? I can't be bothered to check. Let's play Choose Your Own Adventure!





If not:

Whatever I don't enjoy eating and can make others feel like **** for eating. My diet, on the other hand, is perfect, so there.
