Junk food made its way into American life with the introduction of packaged foods in the late 1800s. However, home-cooked meals remained the norm for several decades. The artery-clogging industry took off eventually, following World War II. Since the population of the United States ate out more and traveled further, the industry was poised to produce more at an ever-incremental rate.
A slew of options for consumers flooded the market, from the frozen food aisle to fast food franchises. Potato chips, baked goods, and so much more were packed supermarket shelves, prepackaged and ready to go.
junk food were a brand by the 1970s, and a bad one followed, too. Michael Jacobson, a microbiologist, is credited with inventing the term. At an alarming rate, Obama attempted to curb our appetite for the high sugar, high salt, and high preservative foods that Americans consumed at an alarming rate.
