The space program diet is probably the best documented diet. In that diet how much fiber is incorporated into the meals? Fiber helps to release some of the nutrients more slowly, hence energy can be prolonged. Marathon Runners need this type of diet and so often a high complex carbohydrate diet is used before a race.
What is not known exactly is how vitamins should be distributed in your diet. Vitamin C is not fat soluable so a daily diet with vitamin C is necessary (but excess is secreted)
Vitamin D is the sunshine vitamin which humans can manufacture if they get enough sunlight.People who dwell indoors should have this vitamin supplementing their diet.
Whole grain diets can supply some of the vitamin B complex but if your diet consists of white flour products that are not enhanced with vitamin B then it is necessary to have this vitamin supplemented. Stress and excess sugar consumption will increase the body need for vitamin B.
How much meat is necessary in one’s diet? One diet for a normal sized person claims that it should fit in the size of your palm.
Vegetables and fruits have roughage and some cancer protecting ability. Unfortunately some pollutants may also be present, thus some diets emphasize having it to be as organic(pesticides and pollution free) as possible.
Living near the ocean has its advantages. Sea food have no problem in providing the necessary Iodine necessary for all life. If a person lives far from the ocean and consume very little seafood they might need to supplement their diet with Iodine.
I covered the main points of a healthy diet, but certain life styles , location (weather and nearness to oceans) and cultural habits will also influence the basic health pattern diet.

Junk Food
Advantages: tastes good when it’s what we grew up with, keeps physicians in business
Disadvantages: very costly to your health -many employers will no longer hire obviously unhealthy people, or pay the medical costs of people with preventable diseases, people love to pick on other people, since most forms of discrimination are now illegal, that will turn on people who smoke or are overweight. Bet on it.

eating healthy food is better for the heart, and the brain, it generally makes you feel and look better. It’s got low health risks, and a lot of it can taste really good. it can prevent illness, and spots, it can help with weightloss.
the disadvantages of healthy food…well, there arent really any…they could cause you to be underweight, some dont have enough fat or carbohydrate in them…
advantages of junkfood…hmmm…again, arent really any…things like chocolate, if eaten in moderation can be quite good for you because of the iron, and the endorphines…
the disadvantages of junk food is heart disease, bad skin, weight gain, mood swings, disfunctioning bowels, basically anything you think of.

Firstly don’t put "Healthy food" on the poster, it sounds like a bunch of vegetables are doing training, the correct term is "Healthful food" Now the advantages of healthful food is having nice toilet trips. When you eat unhealthful food, the toilet trips become irregular and your pooh becomes all pasty and you have to wipe it alot and sometimes don’t get it all and you stain your undies, and then theres the haemorrhoid’s ugh!
References :
Advantage: It’s good for you !!
Dis Advantage: It usually doesn’t taste very good.
References :
the advantages of healthy food is they make you very lively and more healthy and the disadvantages are you could be allergic to a healthy food and you don’t know it.

It would be interesting for you to come up with something original, right?
Everybody here is going to say that "healthy" food is good and junk food is bad. Yeah, thanks we all know that, this is why it is called "healthy" food. However, for my own personal experience, I can tell you that a lot of people out there (me included!) find some of the generally thought of "healthy" food bad for them!
I am talking about food intoleraces, which are becoming more and more widely spread,
As an example, they say that you should eat 5 portions of food and veg in a day. Well, for people with intolerance to fructose (the sugar in fruits), all sort of fruits (a part from a small amount of banana) give a bad reaction! Same is true if someone if lactose intolerant and eats dairy products, which are supposed to be good for calcium intake and other vitamins…
So, you could spin the "disadvantages" of healthy food around this argument… I think it would give your poster an interesting insight.
Just a thought

Healthy food makes you feel better and you can also eat less to feel satisfied.
However, it seems like there is not much healthy food that can be prepared quickly or without a lot of forethought.
To me eating healthy food is a personal choice that you make. You even have to pay more for it so you do have to think about spending the money if you don’t prepare it yourself. Eating junk food is cheaper so it’s easy to just do it without thinking. It is for when you want to be comforted- you don’t have to think much to buy a hamburger or taco.

I don’t think healthy food has many disadvantages except for the fact that it doesn’t taste as good as junk food.

disadv – less taste

I am 59 years old. I was one of 4 children growing up in the 50s. What we call organic and healthy foods today was everyday fare back then. We didn’t have all the boxed foods that are available today.
My mom worked off and on but she still put a meal on the table for six people. Our home was clean and so were we.
The advantage of "healthy" foods is the control over salts, oils and other fats. We are humans so we got to have a little junk food in our life. That is what we got back then. We didn’t grow up on potato chips, soda, ice cream etc. And we had all of them in stores back then. Our snacks were fruits.
God said do everything in moderation. He meant everything. Food, play, work, drinking etc,etc,etc. If you ingest too much of anything it will hurt, even healthy food.
Balance in life is the key to a healthy life.
**If you live a healthy life of food, water, exercise and a little junk once in awhile then you don’t need supplements. Check with your doctor before starting any changes in your life because of food allergies or health problems. Always keep in mind the overdoing can be just as bad as not doing anything at all. Take baby steps and find out what you can do and like.**

Healthy food is better in the long run, but can get annoying and blatantly without variation. Junk food is cheaper, random and easier to make a meal out of, but worst for eating in the long run.

you are what you eat. so when you eat healthy food, you get (boringly) healthy. your organs will function properly, skin will glow, eyes brightened, you will be mentally alert, risk of diseases minimized, so you’ll spend next to nothing in terms of medicine & vitamin supplements. chances are, you’ll get to live longer. disadvantages? hey, who likes to live forever? many doctors & nurses will be jobless because you’re healthy. canned food manufacturers (capitalists!) will cut labor cost or fold-up, at most.
junk food gives you a temporary high, better and cheaper than drugs such as uppers or downers. when we’re deppressed, we turn to junk food. it’s cheaper than shopping designers clothes. junkfood contains too much sodium which may eventually affect our bp &damage our kidneys. buying junkfood is allowing ourselves to be fooled by those capitalists who fatten themselves with money to buy healthy food, without caring a hell bit if all their victims die of kidney mulfunction. junk is actually a prettified term for garbage. so, imagine eating garbage!

my brains due to eating healthy food for about a hundred years.
I remember a commercial that showed a couple of eggs in a frying pan and the tag line said – this is your brain on drugs. Another one was the photo of an old wrinkled woman with a cigarette in her mouth with the tagline – Smoking is Glamorous. If you can do something like that visually, because most people will spend about 20 seconds reading and retaining what you say, but will look at photo and be able to tell you years later what was on it – how about a photo of a super skinny anorexic model who eats 8 grapes a day and ends up dying and a photo of an extremely obese person a the other end of the rung, and one with a person in reasonable shape, looks like exercises, eats good foods then ask the question – Healthy? Your Choice!! It has been said a picture is worth a 1000 words – think about it.

I’d say an advantage to healthy food, is that its well, healthy! It makes you feel better about yourself, and less stressed. It helps you not to be overwieght. The disadvantages are that it might cost a tad more, and take longer to prepare, but its worth it. Advantages to junkfood are, that its quick, and it tastes good. Thats about it. Over about a month, you could almost die if you only ate junkfood. You should watch the movie "supersize me" its a documentary on a guy who was healthy, until he ate mcdonalds food only for one month. His docters told him to stop cuz he was gonna die. It clogged his arteries in one month! He gained like 30 pounds. Junkfood sux. good luck!

Adam said it well but I just want to point out one thing. Eating healthy may sound expensive, but in the long run it easily makes up for it. Those on a very healthy diet don’t spend much, if any at all, on medicines. Don’t have to make that many visits to doctors or have expensive surgeries such as bypass surgery or others that are needed because of unhealthy lifestyle!
References :
Healthy food provide your body these things:
1. Sufficient energy
2. Nutrition for growth
3. Vitamins & minerals to help your metabolism
4. Better protection against illness
5. Enough fibre to help your digestion
Healthy food do not always taste good, but they are good for your body.
Unhealthy food are usually:
1. Eye-catching
2. Taste good (if not, why do people eat them?)
3. May cause addiction
4. Overly high sugar or saturated fat & low fibre
5. May contain harmful substances, such as dangerous colour additives, free radical (may cause cancer), excessive MSG, etc.
Generally, nature provide us many kinds of good food, but if we cook them improperly, or eat them too much (just think when you indulge in large-size french fries) , even good things may turn bad. The most important thing is proper eating.

Healthy foods give you energy and a longer life, and although the intial cost may appear to be cheaper as Adam stated. I have to disagree because in the long run the medical cost you’ll spend will much out weigh the initial extra cost you might pay for the healtheir food. With junk food you’ll end up having to go to th e doctor for pain due to the extra weight you’ll put on, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart problems, digestive problems, amoung many others, Not to mention a shorter life span. Healthy food does not have to be overly expensive anyway it’s all in how you but it. Look at fruits and vegis, for $10 you can have a refridgerator full. Skim Milk is cheaper then whole milk, you crave a hamburger make one at home with lean ground beef or ground turkey. Get white meat chicken breast you can get a 5lb bag for about $6-8. Here are some tips I found online for you…..
Make your own
Most of the best recipes on Earth were created by peasants who wouldn’t be able to read the directions on a modern food package. Yet I have witnessed PhDs microwaving TV dinners while complaining how complicated it must be to make what the processed-food wizards are trying to imitate. The truth is that cheap, healthy, and tasty meals, from cereals to sautés to soups, can easily be made from scratch. Individually packaged instant oatmeal, for example, costs about $3 to $4 per pound, while plain old oatmeal, sold in bulk, costs 79 cents per pound, leaving you plenty of resources to experiment with oatmeal cuisine. Try swirling your initials in maple syrup over a steaming bowl if you’re feeling adventurous and concerned about presentation.
Grow your own
Lawns surrounding 85 million U.S. residences take up almost 25 million acres. Digging up just a fraction of this real estate to grow chard, lettuce, peas, and tomatoes would be a marvelous development. You’d save money on food, and some of the millions of gallons of oil used to ship it from farm to market. Apartment dwellers take note: An amazing amount of produce can be grown in containers or window boxes, especially greens you can cut and grow back. For tips, browse university agricultural extension services online (never thought you’d be doing that in a highrise, did you?)
We all love junk food but personal experience has taught me the difference and I have found there are healthy ways to have the things I love and still eat healthy, and I am still paying today thousands of dollars in medical cost for eating all that junk food. If you’re eating out and you’re say at a fast food resteraunt…. get a salad, grilled chicken or something along those lines.

well the advantages would be that of healthy food would be if you choose to eat healthy you would feel better and be in good health and weight as well but the disadvantages would be that now days healthy foods costs more than not so healthy foods and that is sad. the advantages of junk food is that if eaten sparingly then it would not be as harmful to your body as to say if that you would eat it constantly. now the disadvantages would be that if you eat junk food constantly you will not be as healthy as you would want to be when the effects kick in later down the road. you also would not have very much energy and would feel tired constantly so there are both advantages and disadvantages for both types of food sources.
