I really like junk food and for some reason it is alot cheaper to buy junk food than it is to buy food that is healthy for you. I can't afford the food that is healthy so junk food it is for me that can be a bad thing in the end I suppose but so far my health is ok.

I prefer real foods compared to junks foods but I still eat them though when it's usually for leisure. For example, in watching movies or TV, I could have junk food by that time. But of course, when I feel hungry and I need energy, I'd consider foods with more nutritional value than junk food.

Yes. It definitely affects health when it's uncontrolled. Chips which contain lots of sodium and high cholesterol contribute to high blood pressure and it increases the risk of having stroke or even heart attack. Some junk foods are of very high bad cholesterol and fat levels which some times lead to morbid obesity increasing risk of diseases even by more than 10-fold. If eaten moderately or controlled, it's fine to take one once in a while.

bikash 84 depends on your definition of junk food actually hamburgers when made with 90% lean beef are really not bad for you and ocassionally some french fries with ketchup will not 'make for ill health. Its the idea of not eating on regular basis fresh veggies, fruits, whole grains, lean meat, and lo fat dairy. we need to balance our diets and eat from each of the above food groups plus get some much needed exercise too that is bad for you. I love to have an ocassional hamburger with fries and a diet coke because this way it is a treat and it will not harm me.

I prefer normal foods or real foods. My mom gets mad me when I eat junk foods. Because bad health condition runs in the family. Also when I eat junk foods, I eat a lot of them and that is not good for my health.

Well yes, it does make you fat. Because it has preservatives. We're talking about junk foods here. And it has other ingredients that are not good for people's health. So my mom gets mad at me. Because its not healthy, it's just a waste of money, according to her.

I like the convince rather than the nutritional value. If I'm in a rush and crunch for time... sure I'll stop at taco bell. If I have the time and I schedule ahead of my day I will gladly throw together what I need to get me by. There are just to many downsides to fast food to make me want to eat it EVERYday but its ok for the occasional rush hour. If you tally the cost alone. Its usually $5-7 a meal thats $15-21 a day... which is like what... 2-3 hours of work each day (on a students salary lol) grocery shopping saves you so much money... and offers healthier habbits. I used to eat fast food for lunch everyday... when that stopped I lost 30 pounds. I don't recommend eating it everyday.
