I like burgers from places like McDonald's, I like the occasional thing from Subway, I like KFC, I like Burger King.

There a few others I like too, but I don't want to go on.

I guess I am junk food junkie. :oops:

I'll go for most salty things. If you put chex mix or gardettos in front of me, I'll eat it until it's gone. Spicy things too.

I cannot stand the texture of cheetos or cheese puffs.

Sugary stuff like candy, cakes, etc. I could really take or leave.

Yeah I can take a KFC every now and then. I don't crave junk food me.

I can remember when it was the pandemic and MacDonalds was closed and everyone was going nuts for a big Mac meal. I can only assume they're complete addicts.

I'm addicted to chocolate flavored stuff despite how my gut will react to that.

And mainly salty or cheese flavored potato or corn derived crispy chips and crisps.
Again, my gut will react badly if I binge off it.


Though, my constant cravings with salty food might be justified with my possibly a lifetime of dealing with low blood pressure, some constant degree of anemia and something else since it's not limited to just junk food.

I could eat something healthy yet salty all the time. It's just better if it's crispy.
Except, for the most part, it's more expensive so far.

Anything else is coping mechanism.
Comfort. Staving boredom. Wanting to feel something. Stress relief. And costs me a lot.

my all time favorite junk food is takis, it's spicy and sour my favorite flavor combination

my favorite junk food chain is hungry jacks ( burger king in America) specifically their whopper burger and their onion rings

I'm quite partial to Sandies shortbread cookies with pecan and vanilla. I suppose they just about count as junk food. Most of the ingredients look harmless enough but they probably contain too much sugar and fat. I often eat 8 in a day, so that's half the daily value for fat and about the same for carbohydrate. And I don't suppose the sugar does my teeth much good.

I also eat a few Great Value multigrain crackers and Saltine crackers (unsalted tops variety). Not enough to do me much harm, but with the Sandies it all adds up.

Beyond those vices, no junk food at all. I prepare everything else myself from basic simple ingredients. Last time I looked, my daily nutrient, vitamin, mineral and fibre intake seemed healthy enough, but that was before I got addicted to the Sandies and crackers. I don't like most junk food so I have to search quite hard to find any that I do like. I don't know how people can eat and drink a lot of the crap that gets sold. Still, they say you like what you're used to.
