As if I didn't need any additional inspiration, today happens to be National Junk Food Day! I already eat enough bad food in my diet as is, but now I have an excuse to indulge in extra gluttonous fashion today! But, for the sake of my health, I'm going to try to keep the junk food consumption to a reasonable level today.
Some of my favorite junk foods are Krispy Kreme donuts, Snickers candy bars, and BBQ chips. Let's hope I don't consume too much today and go into a junk food coma later!
What's your favorite type of junk food, and what will you eat today to celebrate National Junk Food Day?
Pass me that Twinkie over there, it'll give me something to munch on while I'm reading your responses! lol

I give you permission to eat some junk food today, and any day that you feel like it! In fact, I think I am going to have a chocolate chip cookie for breakfast this morning!

@Lucky15 For me, the saltier the better! Often, when I work outside for long hours at a time, I lose a lot of salt through sweating, so I need to replenish the salt in my body!

At the risk of sounding sanctimonious, I can honestly say that for the past 30 years or so, I have avoided junk food. No donuts or candy bars for sure, but I do like corn chips and occasionally pototato chips. Cookies, bread and pies are my weaknesses.

All the more power to you for being able to maintain a somewhat healthy diet over the last 30 years! I, sir, cannot say the same for myself though! I'm a little too gluttonous when it comes to junk food!

I avoid this stuff,however, upon occasion a craving for salt takes me to Kettle Brand, crinkle cut sea salt potato ships. But the bag disappears very fast, and I remember why I stopped buying them.

Crinkle cut sea salt sounds delicious! Really, any flavor from Kettle Brand sounds delicious! Now I'm craving something salty!

@janicecpatchett The way Americans like to eat junk food, I think those companies were already making a billion dollars even before national junk food day! LOL

@moffittjc My opinion of McDonald's is no better than yours, but they are the most prolific junk food chain.

Gee if I had known it was junk food day I would have started my day off with donuts instead of a healthy breakfast. I have to confess, though, that most days I celebrate junk food day

Ironically, I started off my day with a healthy, nutritious breakfast too! In fact, I went the entire day without having any junk food, but I finally gave in when I got home from work this evening and stole a few cookies out of the cookie jar while I was cooking dinner!

@just4him I vote for Oatmeal Raisin cookies to count as "health food!"

@moffittjc The cookies aren't unless Oatmeal Raisin is in the health category. If so I didn't have any junk food today.

I'm sure there's some good "national days" out there that haven't been claimed yet! Something will pop into your mind when you least expect it!

I think that's true for me too! I don't think there's a day that goes by that I don't eat some type of junk food! Ugh, I guess that doesn't sound too good to mention, but at least I do it in moderation!

And people (or companies) are inventing more and more of these "days." Sometimes I think it is to be humorous; sometimes I think it is to be sarcastic; and sometimes I think it is so companies can draw attention to their products. Whatever the reason, I like to have fun with the different "days."

Mmmm, Twinkies! When I think of junk food I tend to think more of fast food restaurants than sweets and chocolate. Not sure why ... maybe because then I can say I don't eat a lot of junk food?! *laughs*

It's even worse for me, because I live right next to a Krispy Kreme! It's one of their original locations, and it is where they make all the donuts for all the shops and stores in our city. I can never resist stopping there on my way to work to get a hot and fresh donut that was freshly made!
