Let's talk about JUNK FOOD.
Do you think this kind of food is deserve to be said as JUNK?? or rubbish??
Is it the same like garbage? Is it so serious?
Many people blame this JUNK food when they have a health problem.
But don't forget, they eat not only JUNK food every day, don't you??
Let we observe one by one. Layer by layer of a JUNK food, that usually equated with BURGER.
In one piece of burger, it usually contains of bun, with some sesame on top, ham/beef/chicken/etc, cheese, tomato and cucumber slices, also lettuce. Some with tomato ketchup and mayo added.
Ok, it's time to break'em down:
1. Bun, it is made by flour, eggs, and some baking ingredients. Many bakery also sell this kind of bun.
2. Sesame on top, it gives nutty taste. Very common to be used for cooking and other things.
3. Ham/beef/chicken. We all must like this part. Every meat must contains protein which is definitely needed by our body to develop our muscle. Either chicken, beef, ham, or anything, I guess everyone of you eat everyday.
4. Cheese, this milk-tasty part is also filled up by protein and fat that also useful for our body.
5. Tomato slices, despite only a few pieces, but at least it gives a source of vitamin A.
6. Cucumber slices, are believed able to reduce our cholesterol level if consumed regularly.
7. Tomato ketchup and mayo.
Ketchup for sure is good for our health, that's why when you eat Pizza, Doctor says it is healthy if you eat with ketchup. Mayo, not so special, just to give more appetite, it is made by yolk, oil, and vinegar/lime juice. Based on its ingredients, it's fine.
8. That's ALL, no more?? then WHERE IS THE JUNK??
Honestly, I am not a JUNK food mania, just trying to get all the things inside my head out, so that may be if people think I'm wrong, I can be advised.
Just be moderate to all FOOD. Don't be crazy of one single food. Even vegetarian is not totally great.
Thinking to have a home-made BURGER, reduce salt and oil. Avoid soft drink as a compliment, change with tea/coffee, and substitute the fries with mashed/ baked potato will definitely brings more goodness to your body.
