I. Introduction
Junk Food Is A Depreciatory Phrase For Inexpensive Food With High Levels Of Calories
From Sugar Or Fat With Little Fiber, Protein, Vitamins Or Minerals (O'neill And Brendon,
2010). The Term Dates Back At Least To The Early 1950s, (Zimmer And Ben 2010)
Although It Has Been Reported That It Was Coined In 1972 By Michael F. Jacobson Of The
Center For Science In The Public Interest. The High Protein Food Such As Meat Prepared
With Saturated Fat, Many Hamburger Outlets, Fried Chicken Outlets And The Like Supply
Food Considered As Junk Food. With The Advent Of Hostess Twinkies And Fritos Corn
Chips, Mcdonalds And Kfc, Junk Food Has Become More And More Popular Among The
People. Although, Researchers Reported Health Impacts Caused By Junk Foods, Few Believe
That Such Foods Usually Do Not Cause Any Immediate Health Apprehension, When
Incorporated With A Well Balanced Diet (Magee, Elaine 2007). However, The Utilization Of
A "Junk Food"-Heavy Diet, May Cause Obesity That Has Resulted In Public Health
Consciousness Movements, And Ban On Advertising Of Such Commodities (Who, 2015).
Attempts Have Been Made To Change The Eating Habits Of People From Less Desirable To
More Desirable Types Of Food. Three Community Study Using Mass Media And
Community Education Showed That Diets Could Be Somewhat Modified Through
Community-Wide Health Promotion Efforts (Maccoby, Et Al 1977). Dubbert, Et Al 1984;
Mayer, Et Al, 1986 Indicated That Smaller Scale Interventions Using A Variety Of Labelling
And Prompting Strategies Have Been Successful In Increasing The Sale Of Low Calorie And
Low Fat Items In Cafeterias And Increasing The Sales Of Salads, A Low-Fat, High-Fiber
Menu Selection (Wagner & Winett, 1988) At A Fast-Food Restaurant. Eating A Healthy Diet
Is A Tedious Job For Children And People Who Are Busy. The Only Way To Evade Junk
Food Is To Encourage Eating Healthy Diet And More Of The Foods That Are Low In Fat,
Saturated Fat, And Cholesterol High Fiber Foods, Including Whole-Grain Foods, Vegetables
And Fruits And Foods That Have Only A Moderate Amount Of Sugar And Salt Calcium
Rich Foods, To Meet Daily Calcium Requirements. Iron Rich Foods Must Be Included To
Meet Daily Requirements For Iron. The Excess Fat, Carbohydrates, And Processed Sugar
Present In Junk Food Expose People To An Increased Risk Of Obesity, Cardiovascular
Disease, Weight Gain, Diabetes, And Many Other Chronic Health Conditions. The
Consumption Of Healthy Foods Like Fruit, Vegetables Or Dairy Products Has Been Found
To Be Very Less In People Who Eat Too Much Junk Food In Single Sitting And To Gratify
Their Hunger. Junk Food Consumption Modify Brain Activity In A Manner Comparable To
Addictive Drugs Like Cocaine And Heroin Revealed By Scripps Research Institute Study In
2008. The Pleasure Centers Of Rat Brains Became Desensitized, Requiring More Food For
Pleasure; After The Junk Food Was Taken Away And Replaced With A Healthy Diet
(Johnson, Et Al 2010). ). The Likelihood Of Unhealthy Eating Habits During Pregnancy
Increased In The Offspring’s Of Rats Has Been Also Observed. Modern Diet Relates To
‘Junk Food’ That Simply Means An Empty Calorie Food. An Empty Calorie Food Is A High
Calorie Or Calorie Rich Food Which Lacks In Micronutrients Such As Carbohydrates,
Proteins, Vitamins, Minerals, Or Amino Acids, And Fiber But Has High Energy (Calories).

0975-1718 Issn No. (Online) : 2249-3247 Bhoge 52 These Foods Does Not Contain The
Nutrients That Your Body Needs To Stay Healthy. Hence, This Food That Has Poor Dietetic
Values Is Considered Unhealthy And May Be Called As Junk Food [11]. Junk Food Is An
Informal Term Applied To Some Foods Which Are Perceived To Have Little Or No
Nutritional Value, But Which Also Have Ingredients Considered Unhealthy When Eaten
Regularly, Or To Those Considered Unhealthy To Consume At All. Hence, An Attempt Has
Been Made To Review And Understand The Possible Health Impacts Of Junk Food.
(A) Income:- Increased Incomes Or Lower Prices Have Lead To The Increased Consumption
Of Processed Foods. While Those That Are Well Educated Can Choose To Adopt A Healthy
Lifestyle, The Poor Have Fewer Food Choices And More Limited Access To Nutritional
Education.
(B) Urbanization:- Urbanization Has Various Results That It Leads To New And Improved
Marketing, Distribution Infrastructure, Attracts Large Supermarkets Dominated By
Multinational Corporations, And Results In Better Transportation Systems Thereby
Improving Access To Fast Food. This Ultimately Facilitates And Results In The
Globalization Of Food Consumption Patterns. Bhoge 53
(C) Trade Liberalization:- Availability Of Processed Food Has Risen In India After Foreign
Direct Investment By Multinational Food Companies. Thus, Changes In Trade Policies Have
Facilitated The Rising Availability And Consumption Of Fast Food In India. These Policies
Of Trade Liberalization Therefore Have Implications For Health By Virtue Of Being A
Factor Contributing To The ‘Nutrition Transition’ That Is Associated With Rising Rates Of
Obesity And Chronic Diseases Such As Cardiovascular Disease And Cancer (Thow &
Hawkes 2009).
(D) Franchises And Manufacturers:- Kfc, Mcdonalds, Kraft And Nestlé Are All Drivers Of
The Fast-Food Market, Processed Foods And Western Lifestyle That Have Become So
Widespread In Developing Countries (Hawkes 2005). Due To Globalization Of Food
Systems, Traditional Diets In Developing Countries Are Being Transformed As More Meals
Are Now Available In The Fast-Food Calorie-Rich Pattern Of Developed Countries, And
These Are Increasingly Abundant And Cheap Through Advances In Food Processing And
Modern Technology.
(E) Retailing:- Supermarkets Along With Large-Scale Food Manufacturers Have Profoundly
Transformed Fast Food Industry In Our Country. This Rapid Growth Was Only Possible
Because Supermarkets Expanded Beyond Their Original Markets, Moving Into Small And
Poor Countries, From Urban To Rural Areas. The Fast Food Consumption Has A Strong
Impact Due To Retailing.
(G) Consumer Attitudes And Behavior:- Consumer Health Awareness Continues To Grow
With The Increasing Availability Of Health Information Going Hand In Hand With The
Ageing Of Populations And Increased Risk For Lifestyle Diseases. Selection Of Foods That
Are Acceptable To An Individual Increasingly Takes Place In A Context Where Availability
Is Substantially Influenced By The Food Industry And Food Retailers.
These Broad Functions Guided Intervention Activities And Allowed Communities To Tailor
Activities To Maximize Intervention Fit. Habit Of Eating Fast Food Can Damage The Body
Of People In Several Ways. By Making Smarter Choices People Can Restrict The Health
Risks Associated With Eating Fast Foods.
