Junk food
含义: Unhealthy processed food with low nutritional value, like chips, candy, and fast food.
'Junk food' covers the whole spectrum of unhealthy but delicious American snacks — potato chips, candy bars, soda, fast food burgers, frozen pizza, and more. It's a staple of American convenience culture. The term is slightly judgmental but widely used, even by junk food lovers themselves.
