junk food
This term carries a strong negative connotation, framing the food not just as unhealthy, but as "junk"—something devoid of value or utility. It is used predominantly in casual and semi-formal contexts, such as health discussions or daily conversation, rather than in strict medical or nutritional science, where terms like "ultra-processed foods" are preferred.
Grammatically, this is an uncountable noun. You cannot refer to "a junk food" or "junk foods" when discussing the general category of unhealthy eating. To quantify it, speakers use partitive constructions such as "a piece of junk food" or "types of junk food."
