    Junk food tastes so good because it fills the void left in my heart from my father not loving me.

    I think habituation is the key Word. My parents never brought me to mcdonals or kfc when i was a child. I grew up with a mother that always cooked pasta, sometimes meat and a lot of vegetables, and now that I am 19 I actually dislike going to fast foods more than once in 2 months. I know once in 2 weeks doesn't do anything bad to you, but I still feel like i'm damaging my body. Grow your children without fastfoods and we will defeat obesity.

    Nonsense. Veggies taste great if cooked properly

    The only foods that are healthy and taste good are Apples and Oranges.

    Here's a question I raise.. For example most evenings, if I do not have something sweet before I go to bed, I find it much more difficult to sleep, sometimes staying up until 2am until I can not physically keep my eyes open. Though if I get out of bed, have like a tiny piece of chocolate or some honey, it helps me to sleep. Is this common? Is there a reasoning behind it?

    I love junk food, especially cookies, cakes, ice creams, noodles, cheese puffs, bread, and deep fried veggies.

    Why are products with refined sugar allowed to be abought by infants unattended, but for tobacco you need to be 18? In some places you need to be 21 for alcohol. But refined sugars has more addicts, and way more early deaths let alone lives long of dismal health and life quality.

    Sugar is my weakness, I have more than I like, and find it hard to let go.

    Sugar is fine in its natural form (when it comes with tailored fibres for digestion) is quite OK. In basically any quantity. Try getting fat on oranges, versus orange "juice" without bits from rehydrated concentrate. Or, a banana versus an "energy" (refined sugar) drink.

    My problem is that I'm unable to correctly eat due to a weird mental illness (sort of like PTSD which affects many aspects of my life), good news is I don't crave food because of it, bad news is that I eat what ever I can find as I cannot prepare it.

    Why do Americans and English people consider pizza as junk food?

    I have beef, peppers, onions, mushrooms prepared for making burritos-- it's so delicious-- so good. And I am still thinking about going to the drive-through to get a burger,fries and a milkshake. It makes no sense. It won't taste as good, but I WANT it.
