There is a spiritual-inclination reason why most American football players eat steak, and why most football fans do the same and why they barbeque outside the stadium pre-game. To be a successful athlete in a violent game like that, you need to be an aggressive, dominating, "carnivore" of a player.

Junk food is not bad for spirit, it is bad for your weight and health. Being obese and unhealthy is bad for you in every way. It affects your self-esteem and your ability to be alive and present in life, which in turn affects your inner spiritual well-being. Eat whatever feels right and do that which makes you feel good about yourself... whatever it is that affects your spiritual well-being in a positive way. That said, you are still free to choose your karma. We are souls of free will. If your karma is to make yourself ill by eating chemicals and processed food, then that's your chosen path.

I like what you said here. Less of the 'woo-woo' factor and more plain common sense. Great comment Baile.
