Junk food

Have you ever had a piece of candy or a bag of chips? Those are examples of junk food!

Junk food is food that is not very healthy for your body. It is often high in sugar, salt, and fat, and has little to no nutritional value.

When you eat junk food too much, it can lead to problems like becoming overweight or getting sick more easily. That’s why it’s important to limit how much junk food you eat and try to choose healthier options like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Remember, it’s okay to have junk food once in a while as a treat, but it’s best to stick to healthy foods most of the time.
