what do you consider as junk food?

To me when I think of junk food, I think of chips, cookies, candies, chocolates..etc. My husband thinks pizza, burgers and fries are considered junk foods. But when people mention pizza or burgers, I just consider them actual foods, and not junk foods. What do you think?

    ANY food prefabricated I consider to be junk food. Only homemade items whether made at home or in a restaurant are considered to me real food.

    Restaurants now a days are almost all prefabricated. Seems not too many people know how to make things homemade anymore. The food industry is about money rather than the wholesome goodness and health.

    Just saying that is reason enough why my family eats homemade things at home and rarely has JUNKfood. I say RARELY because YES we do have an occasional frozen pizza like once every two months or so.

    Happy Tuesday !

    I think junk food is anything that is high in fat or sodium and low in nutrition. It is something we like, but not necessarily the best choice. Junk food has been manufactured more----not as whole as fresh foods that are processed less.

    Junk Food to me are things that contain high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils. A sugary or greasy substance as one of the first listed ingredients.
