66. 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 aerated 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 can be enjoyed sometimes, but our body requires a healthy
balance of nutrients from freshly prepared food.
