I'll have chips and a pie or a kfc burger occasionaly if stopping for a break on the motorway.
I like to make my own versions of resturant junk food at home, so it's less fatty and I can make it taste just as good or better. One of my faves is a huge freshly baked crispy baggette stuffed with home made meat balls and tomato salsa and mayo... delicious!! :)

Then again, the problem at home for us is that we're too damn lazy to cook. Luckily we've found some relatively "healthy" (read: not too bad on the calorie count) and flavorful frozen dinners from Trader Joe's - Baked chicken or fish with veggies. ... Anyway. Back on topic. I really only do junk food occasionally - chips and that kind of stuff aren't staples in our house. We're really really trying to make fruits and veggies "snacks," but at home I just try not to snack at all. If I snack, it tends to be crackers (wheat thins or graham) and cheese. And it's really only occasionally. I don't have the desire to snack like I used to. I don't eat fast food, unless you count the occasional Subway sandwich as fast food. But I have to admit that I have a seeeeeeeeeeeerious sweet tooth that I've had to curb in the past couple of years (used to eat lots of starburst and jelly beans by the bagful)... Also, I have a serious weakness for pizza. Just discovered a really good pizza place that delivers. I have to say is that my absolute ABSOLUTE favorite junk food at home is nachos. Bag of Tostidos (lime flavored ones if I'm feeling saucy) Shredded monterary jack cheese (melted on top of said nachos in the microwave) Salsa mixed with sour cream and tobasco mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm good stuff... Been at least a year since I've indulged... My mom makes some killer buffalo wings. Those with spinach triangles... That was my Birthday meal from her. Good stuff. MAN now I'm getting hungry...

Speaking of the tax on junk food, I honestly think it'd work. For as long as I can remember (and I know they were far cheaper back before I was on this Earth, but still) a portion of chips from the local chippy was £1.00. You could get a nice saveloy with it and you'd be happy. Within the last 2 years this has risen to £1.30 at ALL the local chip shops.
I don't know why, it's most likely due to the "economic downturn". Either way, I was furious. Chips at a pound were convenient. Everyone has one pound coins lurking in their pockets. It was a nice round number and it worked for everyone. But no, they couldn't leave well alone. The short story is that even such a small rise in price has significantly affected the amount I buy chips. I never got them THAT often as it is, but now it's so rare I can't remember the last time. And I know the same applies for many of my peers. So you're right, MD my dear. TAX THEM!!!
