International Day of Junk Food

Every year, the day allows us to eat foods that we normally don’t eat on a daily basis. Have you ever wished for a day where you can eat absolutely anything you want? Eating junk food alters the brain activity in a way similar to addictive drugs do, such as cocaine and heroin. Lower income people eat more junk food than more affluent people.

The beginning of Junk Food Day is still unknown. National Junk Food Day is celebrated all over the United States. Junk food entered American culture with the introduction of packaged meals in the late 1800s. There’s always that one coworker in the break room eating a healthy salad while you’re snacking on nachos. Pick whatever your heart desires and chow down. Today those calories don’t count!
