For those of you on a well-balanced diet, does a junk food meal have a negative affect on you? Yea or Nay (let's leave out the healthy vs bad food posts, not the point, just a poll)

referring to fast food, McD's, Taco Bell, etc

Me...yes

    Too much junk (like there is a cutoff somewhere, because I can eat some with no ill effect) makes me lethargic, craving for more junk, and affects my skin.

    What's considered junk?

    Only things that have negative impacts are liver, cauliflower cause they taste nasty and a few things I'm allergic too. So I don't eat them.

    Sugary food makes nauseous if I eat too much. I never eat fast food anymore, so who knows.

    Anything eaten too much of probably makes a majority of people feel ill

    I get a ton of water retention with any meal that has even a little extra sodium. Too many simple carbs over an extended period of time make me lethargic. Otherwise, no, junk food isn't particularly detrimental to me.

    No. 'Junk food' meals are part of my healthy, balanced diet.

    Nope, no way, no how. A meal from McDonald's or anywhere else you and others would deem a junk food place, has no ill affect on me.

    Too much sugar, too much salt or too much beer makes me bloat like crazy.

    I weigh almost all of my food. I would consider it all well balanced then. About the only thing not weighed is a rouge banana or apple. I would consider these sugary treats as Junk food by your standards and yes, they negatively impact my bowl movements at times.

    How can we leave out a debate on what your undefined version of "junk food" is and still be expected to answer a yes/no question about it?

    Or is it a trick question? I got it .. The question can't be answered because there is no such thing as junk food.

    Oh, then I must change my answer. I rarely eat fast food (so not worth the money or calories to me) but I've never noticed an ill effect from one meal there.

    That's food. So if I stopped at McDonalds and got a cheeseburger with a side salad it's junk because McDonald's?

    Thanks think I'll go there for dinner
