1. Junk food refers to food that only provides some calories and no other nutrients.

2. Or provide food that exceeds the needs of the human body and becomes a superfluous ingredient.

3. Junk food refers to food that contains nutrients required by the human body, and is partially or completely lost through frying, roasting, burning and other processing processes, or is added in the processing process, generated or long-term excessive consumption of food that produces harmful substances in the human body.

Many people may not know that there is a lot of junk food in traditional snacks, such as scallion pancakes, fried pancakes, cream cakes, fried dough sticks and baked cakes that are often eaten for breakfast, or instant noodles that many people will eat all night long.

Canned food mostly provides salt and other flavorings such as artificial flavors, preservatives, etc., without much other nutrients. Sodas, cola, chocolate, chewing gum, and candies are mainly composed of sugar, coloring, and flavoring, and have no nutritional value other than providing calories from sugar. Snack foods such as fried french fries, potato chips, and all kinds of biscuits are also made with a bunch of flour and oil, and there are not many nutrients in them except for providing the calories of starch and oil.

Hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and hot dogs, which are often considered junk foods, are also high in calories, but they can only be regarded as high-calorie foods at best. Take burgers as an example, because hamburgers also contain other foods such as cheese, which also contain high protein and calcium, meat also provides protein and vitamins B1 and B2, and lettuce is also rich in water-soluble vitamin C and B complex, but the nutrients are slightly insufficient compared to the calories it provides; Fried chicken is wrapped in a thick batter on the skin and fried, so the oil and calories brought are super high, although it has the protein and vitamins B1 and B2 of meat, but it lacks the fiber and other water-soluble vitamins of vegetables.

In particular, hamburgers and fries occupy the psychology of children, and junk food is not good for the body. Hope mine is helpful to you!
