]]> Junk food is addictive for a reason. It’s simply made to be addictive and to not satisfy your cravings, but to make them bigger. Whether your favorite snack is a bag of chips, a Snickers bar, or a fast-food chain burger, it’s hard to escape the mighty claws of junk food manufacturers. You probably know the feeling of excitement you have when you’re about to bite into your favorite junk food and the immediate pleasure you feel after it. But the pleasure goes away in a matter of seconds and you need to have another bite, and then another.

Junk food tastes amazing because it’s engineered to taste amazing. It’s usually cheap and easily available, but there’s a big problem with it: as its name says, its junk. It doesn’t contain any nutrients your body needs, but mostly consists of calorie-dense sugar and fat that your body just stores while virtually staying hungry for real food. Typical junk foods are candy, salty snacks, baked goods, and soft drinks.

]]> When you think of someone being vegan, you assume that they eat really healthy without any junk food involved. And while people who eat a plant-based diet do eat a lot of whole foods, there are tons of junk foods that are vegan-friendly but still really bad for you. Here’s a list of junk foods that are actually vegan.

Chocolate Syrup

Even though it has chocolate in the name, most companies, including Hershey’s, makes their chocolate syrup without any dairy or animal products. That means you can enjoy the sugary syrupy dessert topping even if you’re vegan.

White Cheddar Popcorn

SkinnyPop is a really popular snack, because it generally has fewer calories than chips. However, it’s still not healthy because it has a good amount of unhealthy fats. Even though they have a lot of plain, vegan-friendly flavors, one in particular, the white cheddar, is vegan as well.

Oreos

Although these famous sandwich cookies aren’t 100% vegan because they’re made in a factory with animal products — which could lead to cross-contamination — the actual cookie themselves are totally dairy-free and animal product free. However, these snacks are still full of sugar and are definitely considered the ultimate junk food treat.
