I don't know why they do that, I call it fast food, certainly not junk, I love burgers and mcDonalds is devine, I think if you orfered a steak sandwich with the lot and layed it out on a plate you have a meal...

i think junk foods are called such because they really dont contain nutrients. they just contain empty calories. however, people sometimes associate junk foods with fast foods such as burgers and fries instead of the real junk food such as chips and sodas.
