I'm thinking they should be the poster child.

"The foods, which are often high in fat, sodium and sugar, are typically cheap, mass-produced and contain added colors and chemicals not found in a home kitchen."

"some of the foods contain irresistible combinations of ingredients — fat, sugar, sodium and carbohydrates — that trigger people to eat more"

Pop-Tarts, junk food, are like narcotics, they got all the good stuff to make you feel good eating them.

Healthy stuff: celery, oats, sprouts, bird seed, bark, twigs and shit just can't compete.
