What is Junk Food?

Junk food is the one that is produced for its appealing taste rather than for its health value. People eat such food for fun and its looks, but such food is not good for the body. It often contains chemicals that make the taste nice, but are unhealthy. Foods like chips, burgers, crisps, cakes and biscuits are high in fats, while sweets and aereated drinks like cola and lemonade are high in sugar. Eating a large amount of fat makes us build up fatty tissues in the body, while excessive sugar can damage our teeth and skin. Junk food generally lacks the vitamins and minerals we need. Junk food can be enjoyed sometimes, but our body requires a healthy balance of nutrients from freshly prepared foods.
