Anita (Taiwan)
What junk foods1 do I eat? I like potato chips2, chocolates, candy bars3 but these days because of diets though4 I don't usually eat a lot, but of course during the party5 with my friends we always buy lots and lots6 of junk food and we'll finish in an hour. Actually7 I like it, but I'm controlling myself right now.

Mitchell (United States)
The junk food I tend8 to eat is gummy bears9 because I like, like the gummy kind of candy10, gummy bears, sour patch kids11, but I don't think I eat too much junk food because I don't eat too much cake12, chocolate, cookies13, and the dairy14 product section, so but if I had to pick15 a junk food that I eat the most16, it's sweets17 like gummy bears, starbursts, skittles.

Ruth (England)
How much junk food? Well, actually I try really hard not to eat junk food. I try to go for a long time without eating18 crisps19 and chocolate and cakes, but often20 I tend to ignore that and eat them anyway21. I think it goes in phases22. For a long time I'll not have any and then for a week or two weeks I will eat cake, cake, cake, chocolate,
crisps, all of the time23, so maybe, certainly at those time I eat too much. The rest of the time, no, I think it's OK.

Lucinda (New Zealand)
I don't eat junk food, sweet junk food, so I'm actually lying24, I don't eat sweet junk food. I like McDonalds breakfast25, but any other things26 to do with junk food I'm not really 
partial to. I like chocolate occasionally, but very bitter27 chocolate. I quite28 like eating cooking chocolate bars.

Alan (Canada)
What junk food do I eat? Well, I enjoy29 potato chips and chocolate and cookies. I'm actually what you call30 a junk food 
fanatic. I enjoy eating junk food. I try not to eat too much of it. I used to eat more31 of it when I was younger, but I've kind of trimmed it down32 a little bit33, as I got older34, however35, I still enjoy a good bag of potato chips while36 I watch TV, or a chocolate bar occasionally, after lunch or dinner, so I would say. I enjoy junk food but I try not to eat too much of it.

Mark (America)
Actually, I don't eat a lot of junk food, but I try to keep37 pretty healthy38 with what I eat, but if I 
slip39 and I do eat any food that's not so healthy it's usually fast food. Like I almost never40 eat at McDonald's, but if I'm really hungry, or I'm really broke41 and don't have a lot of money, or I just want something fast, I might42 sneak into43 a McDonalds, once every two weeks44 or something like that45.
