it really includes anything processed (which is virtually anything except whole grains, fruit, nuts, seeds, vegetables and fish/meat)
the most unhealthy part of processed foods are the sugar and 'bad' fats, especially hydrogenated vegetable fat. this means the fat is an unnatural one, because it has been processed to make it solid instead of liquid at room temp. your body can't use it properly.

absolutely not. it includes foods that are high in sugars, fats, fried, etc. almost anything that you can buy from a filling station and eat it right away is considered junk food.

No, I don't think the term applies to just fast food. I think it applies to any 'unhealthy' food, with 'empty calories' & with very little nutritional benefit, such as crisps or chocolate or those microwave ready meals etc...

In America, any place where you get your food fast and/or has a drive thru is fastfood. Nicer restaurants don't have your food ready in 3 minutes or have drive thrus.
