Childhood obesity can be caused by junk food. According to the findings of this study, children who ate fast food were more likely to consume a meal's worth of calories, fat, carbohydrates, and added sugars. Furthermore, when compared to children who did not consume fast food, they were less likely to consume as much fiber, milk, fruits, and vegetables.

Fast food or junk food refers to all types of foods that are high in energy because they contain a great deal of fat, sugar, and salt, but are lacking in other essential nutrients such as protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Yet, fast food is incredibly appealing to the majority of youngsters due to its flavor, relative affordability, and convenience (no cooking or preparation required). Due to the fact that youngsters often do not comprehend how this type of food negatively affects their health, it is highly addicting.
