  s. Junk food can also refer to high protein food
  like meat prepared with saturated fat. Food from
  many hamburger outlets, pizza and fried chicken
  outlets is often considered as junk food.

  Junk Food and Fast Food, defines junk food as
  "those commercial products, including candy,

  but do have plenty of calories, salt, and fats.
