Why does junk food have to be so bad for you?

Random conversation today between the Giant and me about junk food.  It will probably give me the giggles for the rest of my life.

Me:  I just took two of Kal's fun size Snickers bars, and now I have the giggles. 

The Giant:  eat like that and you get the jiggles...well, maybe not... but I know I do just by thinking about junk food.  

Me:  oh trust me, the jiggles are exacerbated by the giggles. not cool. not cool at all. 

The Giant:  you know, you think about it and its really not fair. Why does ice cream and candy have to be this way... I mean, to some its a staple...like me, ice cream...must have....so why does it have to be soo bad for you.  

Me:  bc it's ALL fat. PURELY fat. 

The Giant:  but why  
Me:  but if you want to look on the bright side of things, that kind of stuff satiates that part of your brain so you're happier when you have it
food for the soul. uh-huh. amen. 

The Giant:  then my soul is fat

At least he's happy. :)  For those of you who are wondering who the Giant is, he's one of my good buddies at work.  Yes, he is a giant.  He towers over most of the people in my department.
