NATIONAL JUNK FOOD DAY

Dietitians will tell you that junk food is any food that contains little nutritional value. That means most snacks and candies are junk food. 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 National 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.
