What is not junk food according to the speaker?

All right! Enough cookies, cola, and chips! It seems that junk food is all that the children want to eat these days. Television controls their tastes. The kids see well-known personalities eating potato chips, candy, and other processed food, and they want to be just like their heroes. How do they do it? They eat the same food. I wish there were more characters like old Popeye the sailor, who ate spinach and not French fries.
   Just because I like brown rice, beans, and fresh vegetables, I don’ t expect my children to eat this "health food". I’m glad to cook traditional meals of meat and potatoes for them. I really can’ t be too upset with the kids because most adults aren’ t careful about what they eat. The other night, my wife and I went to a party where there was plenty to drink but very little for us to eat. They served hot dogs and hamburgers. I can’t eat hot dogs, with all those preservatives, and hamburgers are filled with chemicals so that they look nice. Besides the meat, they had sugar-filled cookies and cake, and, of course, chips. Terrible! I don’t want the world to change because of me, but I think that people should realize that there are alternatives to eating meat. They always tell me that I probably don’ t get my essential proteins. But I feel better than ever and I’ m sure that it’ s because I’ m vegetarian. I would really like to see more television advertisements which show the benefits of good, healthy, natural food.
