A member asked:

Would it be acceptable to eat junk food sometimes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

How often is: Sometimes? It would not be too bad to have "junk food" once a week or so, as long as you adjust your diet on other days to make up for the excess consumption of fat, calories, salt and lack of fresh vegetables and fruits.
