4. Microbiologist Michael Jacobson, PhD
introduced the term “junk food” in 1972.
• Junk food is a slang word for foods with
limited nutritional value.
• High in salt, sugar, fat or calories and low
nutrient content can be termed junk food.

5. I. In Andrew F. Smith's Encyclopedia of Junk Food and Fast Food, junk food is defined as
"those commercial products, including candy, bakery goods, ice cream, salty snacks, and
soft drinks, which have little or no nutritional value but do have plenty of calories, salt,
and fats.
II. Junk foods have empty calories, i.e. the energy content is not complemented
with proteins and lipids required for a nutritious diet.
III. In the book, Panic Nation: Unpicking the Myths We're Told About Food and Health, it is
argued that the junk food label is nutritionally meaningless: food is food, and if there is
zero nutritional value, then it isn't a food.
IV. Co-editor Vincent Marks explains, "To label a food as 'junk' is just another way of saying,
'I disapprove of it.' There are bad diets - that is, bad mixtures and quantities of food -
but there are no 'bad foods' except those that have become bad through contamination
or deterioration."

6. 1. Fast foods are very fast. They are
just for taste not for the slim waist.
2. Pleasure on the lips,
a lifetime on hips.

10. A balanced diet is one that gives your body the nutrients it needs to
function correctly. To get the proper nutrition from your diet, you should
consume the majority of your daily calories in:
1. Fresh Fruits
2. Fresh Vegetables
3. Whole Grains
4. Legumes
5. Nuts
6. Lean Proteins

11. A diet that contains adequate amounts of all the necessary nutrients required for healthy growth and activity.
A balanced diet contains sufficient amounts of fibre and the various nutrients to ensure good health.
Food should also provide the appropriate amount of energy and adequate amounts of water.
A balanced diet should be both adequate and wholesome.

16. • Statistics have shown that now-a-days children are fond of junk food more than adults. How
many of them eat fruits with that much interest as a plate of pizza? Hardly any. Children are a
lot fussier about food but introducing them to healthy diet from the time they start eating can
be a good start. Highly fatty junk foods will block their arteries and blood vessels leading to
some serious diseases. Children learn a lot from adults. Therefore, it’s advisable that you hold
back your temptations whenever you pass by any fast food joints. Control your temptations
people, only then can you lead a happy life and give your child a healthy one.
