National Junk Food Day 2026
 |
It wasn't known to me as "junk food" back then. It was "fast food" which is likely just a synonym for "junk food".
I was content to go by McDonalds and eat a big mac ...
Or two.
Of course the milk shake and french fries were part of the deal. I was SO thankful for being allowed to partake of this exceedingly poor nutrition.
These are high fat, sugar, salt, and calorie and rather lacking in true complex nutritional value.
This I felt to be a function of a traveling populace needing to eat out more as they went hither, thither, and yon.
Today is National Junk Food Day.
It promotes the indulgence by people in their favorite food treats each time July 21 rolls around.
It's a special day to enjoy delicious snacks, fast food, and desserts without reservation, guilt, nor trepidation.
So should you be so inclined go ahead and superize those fries and slap another patty on that hamburger.
Today is National Junk Food Day and you should eat and be merry for tomorrow it all may kill you.
