MB Motorsports celebrates National Junk Food Day -- well, kinda.


I'm not so sure MB Motorsports is actually celebrating the day by promoting junk food -- but I supposed if there is one day to eat some bad food and it is nationally recognized -- then let today be the day!

I would never call myself a health food fanatic or anything but I would much rather eat vegetables or fruit over junk food -- unless it's Herr's Salt and Vinegar chips then you will have to fight me for them.

So you ask yourself who would make this a nationally recognized day? Well the origins are unknown but it is recognized by the U.S. Census Bureau which sent out an  Daily Feature alert that read: "On the one hand, there's increasing concern about obesity, diabetes, and the quality of the diet of many Americans, underlined by pronouncements of anxiety from doctors and public health officials.  On the other, junk food shows no sign of waning in popularity.  In fact, today is National Junk Food Day.  Its theme song might be the hit of years ago, "Junk Food Junkie," which sang the praises of such items as "Dr Pepper and an old Moon Pie."  


So MB Motorsports fans -- what is your favorite junk food?
