Bad Foods?

Do food have character? Good and bad? Haha. Please don't misunderstanding this by translating it literally. Actually bad foods is synonyms with unhealthy foods.

What is unhealthy foods?

Based on Segen's Medical Dictionary(2012), unhealthy food is any food that is not regarded as being conducive to maintaining health. Unhealthy foods include fats(especially of animal origin), “fast” foods (which are low in fibre and vitamins), foods high in salt and tropical oils (e.g., fried potatocrisps/chips), and cream-based (“white”) sauces (which are high in fat). 

With so much talk of healthy foods and what you should be eating, the foods that are the worst for us can get overlooked. The reason it’s so hard to avoid these kinds of food is because the things that make them bad also make them taste good. Fatty foods typically taste good, so do sweet and salty ones, which means a lot of the foods you love are likely not the best things you can have. (Bembu, 2013)
