1) Investiga el significado de (Junk Food)
"Junk food" generally refers to foods that contribute lots of calories but little nutritional
value.
2) Realiza un relato de (Junk Food)

What's considered "junk food" depends on whom you ask. Some might say pizza is
junk food, for example. But I personally don't think so, since it contributes real food
with nutrients, like cheese and tomato sauce. Add whole-wheat or part whole-wheat
crust, plus veggies as a topping, and I'd say pizza completely exits the junk food
category.

One problem with junk foods is that they're low in satiation value -- that is, people
don't tend to feel as full when they eat them -- which can lead to overeating.
Another problem is that junk food tends to replace other, more nutritious foods.
When people drink lots of soda, for example, they are usually not getting plenty of
low-fat dairy or other healthful beverages like green tea or orange juice. When
they're snacking on chips and cookies, they're usually not loading up on fruits and
vegetables.

3) Responde las siguientes preguntas en (Inglés) acerca de lo investigado

a) What does junk food contain?

It contains lots of calories
b) Which substances can not you find in junk food?
Junk food doesn’t have any nutrients
c) Do you like Junk Food?
Of Course, I like pizza, hamburgers, fried chicken, soda.
d) Junk Food is high in calories and low in nutrients?
Yes, it is.
