I voted for fast food hamburgers because quite a few of them are loaded with items that I don't consider to be healthy. A homemade burger might or might not be junk food. So, I chose not to vote it as junk food.

Ok I voted on the white bread. Obviously you all know what kind I'm talking about. Just in case anyone gives a damn.

The 1.5 Hostess Ho - Ho's I ate earlier this evening..........THAT is junk food.

As far as the list goes........the first 6 are junk food

The rest not at all.

That's my understanding of the answers as well, and that's what I voted for.

Milk ? Junk Food ? Is there something different about the status of Milk in the US I am not aware of ? Milk is good for us, full of calcium and a wholesome drink for kids in particular. A bit puzzled by this ? Do Americans add sugar and lots of fats to their milk ?

By white bread I assume people mean "plastic" white sliced bread which is usually full of additives, bleaches, sugar and salt ?

You forgot instant ramen noodles. Deep fried starch loaded with salt. It's really a 800+ calorie bowl of wet potato chips.
