[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ANY food described at such a generic level can be healthy food or junk food depending on how it is made.

A hamburger from McDonald's is junk food. A burger made with high quality ingredients and eye toward macros is healthy.
Stouffer's frozen mac and cheese is junk food.  A mac and cheese made with high quality ingredients and eaten in moderation is healthy.
Tostitos chips and Chi-chi's salsa is junk food.  Pico de gallo with fresh made chips including high quality ingredients is healthy.

To be clear, I eat a good mix of both health food and "junk food."  No judgment.  [/quote]

Burgers and Mac and cheese made at home are also basically junk food, if you ask the average cardiologist. They are not healthy foods and should not be consumed [b]with any regularity[/b] at home or out of the home.[/quote]

PP here.  The bolded is the key point.  I never said I eat them regularly.  I said I don't consider them junk food.

The problem here is a lack of a common definition of "junk food."

And no cardiologist would tell an otherwise healthy person to not consume quality burgers or mac and cheese ever.[/quote]
