National Junk Food Day
For some of us, every day is Junk Food Day. For the rest of us, National
Junk Food Day is an opportunity to guiltlessly eat your favorite junk
food.
Dietitians will tell you that junk food is any food that contains little
nutritional value. We also include foods that are high in salts, fats, and
sugars. In other words, junk food is all that tasty stuff that the dietitians,
and Mom, say is bad for us.
On Junk Food Day, you get to eat anything you want. Eat any amounts that
you want, too. Tomorrow, however, it's back to a healthy
diet.
