Debate Of The Week! Junk Food VS No Junk Food

Soo... Im gonna do a debate of the week where each week Im gonna make a new topic to debate about.
This weeks topic: Junk Food
Do you think that junk food should be allowed or are you against them?
Im AGAINST junk food. I'm rarely allowed to eat junk food, and we don't even keep them in the house. My fridge is soda free and my pantries are chips free. To some kids that would be torture but Im glad that I dont have any junk food. Im healthy, and I have less chances of medical problems when Im older. So, do you think junk food is ok, or are you against it?

I'm against it because if there people always ate junk food, they would be a risk at diabetes. Junk food is bad, and you can get overweight. Healthy food is much, much better. You can fit into lots of clothes & dont have to worry about special occasions like Halloween or Prom.

I personally think that junk food should be taken off the shelves and replaced with a happy medium. I have to admit that my pantry consists of a bit of junk food. But I have very high metabolism, so I'm pretty skinny. I don't like soda. Chocolate is my worst favorite food. I like these things called Wheat Thins, they are healthy, whole grain, and delicious. So what I'm trying to say is that I think that junk food should be kept to a minimum.

i think we should have junk food only if people want to have junk food but only a few junk food.
don't call me a crazy person for this. i love junk food.
i know if you eat junk food stuff happens.
i think we could only have a little junk food
dont reply to this

I'm not against it because I practically live off of pepsi. I mean I don't really like chips and stuff, but I couldn't live without soda. I like milk and waater and stuff but nothing beats a nice cold soda on a hot day. Yknow what I'm sayin'?

I think junk food should be allowed as an option. Eating junk food is a personal choice and should stay an option. If you don't want to eat or don't approve of junk food, just don't buy it. A bag of chips is nice once in while and as long as you don't overeat [junk food], it's not too bad. I rarely ever eat junk food though it's available to me. Like I said before, it's a personal choice. Like it? Go ahead and have it. Disapprove? Don't buy/eat it.

It should stay as an option. I completely agree with Owl. Why need to take it off of the shelves? Sure junk food is unhealthy and all but it's those people's fault for not having self control and having good judgement, so their consequence is becoming unhealthy. I do like junk food, but I know when enough is enough. I usually get sick if I eat too much junk food.

junk food is just unhealthy food
as long as that's not the only thing you eat it's okay.

non junk food

Junk food is only a problem when those who eat it can't control themselves.

I'm very healthy. I'm not overweight or anything like that. I still eat junk food.
Please don't consider yourself morally superior to others just because you don't eat junk food. I eat junk food, but in the right amounts, and as a treat. I don't go eating a full pack of bacon every other day or drink 5 sodas a day. I have just as low of a health risk in the future as you do.

Junk food really isn't as bad as people seem to think it is. As long as you eat it sparingly, you'll be fine. I'm fine. My friends are fine.

Those who choose to eat nothing but crap and suffer the consequences need to understand that it's their fault. Not the junk food's.

Against it. It's okay to have junk food in a while or if people choose to , all the while , not saying that it's good for you , just know your foods key to a healthy body and know your portions. Once my mom bought me McDonald for a week because she was too lazy to cook and all I ate was a small $1 menu sandwich and small fries with some water and apples.
I think it's better to eat healthy because when you eat home cooked food , you have a reduced chance of some sicknesses.

good advice.....

It's not so much the junk food as the stuff that's actually in them. Yes, soda (the worst), chips, cake, cookies and whatnot are all unhealthy, but when you take something like ketchup or mac and cheese (or at least something packaged and processed) 99% of the time it has high-fructose corn syrup and bad stuff that shouldn't be there.

So while it is our fault for drinking 284729482042609472947290 cans of soda a day it's not our fault that we eat canned ravioli and get fat. Food companies put sugar and high-fructose corn syrup in everything, so it's hard to know what's okay and what's not. And for the labels with 93749837493648739658456836593 ingredients on them most of those are corn. Yes, all that stupid stuff is corn -.- (that's a bad thing, ppl)

So yes, IT IS OUR FAULT AS WELL AS FOOD COMPANIES. (Read that five hundred times plz before yelling at me.)

So maybe we shouldn't ban junk food, but ban putting sugar and so much horrible stuff in things that are supposed to be healthy or okay to eat.

I HATE junk food.

What is with this sweets and cakes? Sure they're flattering but these cost to diabeties and other stuff. I don't like sweets 99% the 1% of "sweets" i eat is Green Tea Kit Kat my uncle and aunt from Japan sends me. I hate the american kit kat its gross and to sweet. Green Tea rules

Seriously, guys.
Sugar isn't poison. It isn't necessarily beneficial, but it's not hurting you any to have a bit every few days.
Almost anything can be harmful in excess. Water, salt, you name it. But that doesn't mean you need to treat it like cyanide. You aren't going to get diabetes by eating a cookie.

I'm not against it. It's just a choice.
Just because you have it in your pantry doesn't mean you're being forced to eat it. You don't get diabetes unless it's the only type of food you eat and eat excessively. Though I thought that was already common sense.

I also passionately dislike junk food. It's disgusting and tastes terrible, but that's just a matter of opinion.
Since I don't like it, I am biased to say it should be taken off the shelves, but of course people just LOVE their sugar... Anywho, there are plenty of healthier ways of making food. It's not easy to make healthy chips, but it sure is easy to make healthy cookies, muffins, etc. This is like the... Goal of America right now... Making everything healthy. Seriously. It's not that hard... >.>

if we have more amount of chip, wafers ,cake desserts then we have more probability to increase the fat in our body.

-.- but I actually like eating junk food.. but I like eating non-junk food items.. e.e I mean if you don't eat a lot of junk food, and you eat non-junk food stuff.. I think that's okay?

i like eating junk food, but im still quite thin and healthy
so i guess it only causes damage when consumed excessively ><
you just need to know your limits :-)

I don't like eating junk food. I'd rather eat an apple, as apple are NYUM. Junk food makes my stomach hurt. Especially greasy junk food. Bleh.

WHAT is junk food? Well if fruit juices also go there, then......
Anyways even "healthy" food can be "junk" if spoiled. It's rather the deal of quality than ingredients or type. Food must always be fresh, even if it's "junk"/"unhealthy". If a food is not fresh, even if it's healthy, it's junk.

i just eat w/e i'm in the mood for okay

junk food is fine. just don't have it constantly i guess
