Why do you eat junk food?

Question

I have this project to do in science. I need to know why teenagers eat junk food. I could use some help if it's not too much trouble :D
So why do you eat junk food? The taste? How cheap it is? Do you even eat it at all?
Anything would help a lot c:

Answer 1

Because it is fast, cheap and tastes good!

Answer 2

The number one reason is that it tastes good. Some of it is cheap, some isn't but that doesn't matter because the taste matters. Yes I do consume junk food, usually at social functions but sometimes, I get a craving, like today.

Answer 3

Taste & easy access. Other foods might taste better but isn't easily available or may require hours of intensive labor over a hot stove. After a while a slight addiction for junk food occurs because ofr taste and we become lazy.

maybe rename junk food to lazy snacks?

Answer 4

O.k., well I'm 16 and I don't eat junk food because :

1. I travel around a lot ( my parents are missionary's) and I live in 3ed world country's where the junk food cost much more then the healthy food.

2. I know that it's unhealthy for you...exc..=D

Hope that helps!

Answer 5

Most of us eat junk food for mostly the same reasons. First of all fast foods are fast and when you have to work and be productive, you need to go somewhere where the service is fast. Secondly, fast food at times is inexpensive. When you consider that when you look at the competitive nature of the fast food industry, you can now get excellent quality food for cheap. So, sometimes, I like my burger, or my sub or my bag of chips or my cola........ but you know what, I am chilling most of the time when I am eating junk food........ and god knows, that can't hurt that bad can it?

Answer 6

I'm not a teen, but I love junk food, it tastes great, and goes well in between meals. In fact I am getting ready to eat a brownie as soon as it comes out of the oven right now...

Answer 7

For quick energy. It's usually a bolus of sugar and fat to keep you going for another couple of hours. I don't do alcohol or pills. So junk food it is.

Also, some for cost. It's sad a box of Little Debbie cakes is cheaper than a bag of apples, but that what things have come to.

Answer 8

I eat junk food just to past time when I am feeling bored.

Answer 9

I don't eat junk food. It's bad for you. A lot of it is expensive and when I eat it, I get sick. End of story.
