Junk is rubbish, so junk food is food without nutritious value, for example
hamburgers and chips. Junk comes from the Middle English word jonk,
which was a nautical term meaning old rope. The rope wasn’t thrown
away, but was used on the ship in other ways. Later there were junk
shops which sold old materials from ships. Today junk shops sell second- PLAY

hand articles, such as furniture, ornaments and clothes.

Another term for junk food is fast food. This comes from fast food
restaurants that serve inexpensive meals quickly in paper bags or boxes.

Now there is the slow food movement. It was founded in the 1980s by
Carlo Petrini, an Italian journalist who discovered a new McDonald’s
restaurant in Rome’s famous Piazza di Spagna. He was horrified and
founded the slow food movement, which had two basic beliefs: the
PLAY
importance of traditional cooking methods and the use of local
ingredients. The slow food movement now has over 80,000 members in
over 100 countries.
RIGG, J. Junk food. Speak up. São Paulo: Peixes, n. 224, p. 35
