"Like pornography, junk [food] might be tough to define but you know it when you see it" ~Mark Bittman, Food Journalist
To me personally fast food doesn't have a direct correlation with junk food. Fast can be healthy. Depending on what you eat and where you eat it. However I do agree with Mr Mark Bittman - you know it when you see it. Now slow cooked food is a different story. Especially if we talk "sous vide" - food sealed in vacuum is cooked in a water bath for way longer than normal cooking times at a very accurate temperature, with food cooking through evenly and retaining its moisture. I've already written a few posts about my sous vide experiments this summer. It remains one of those kitchen appliances I absolutely want to have in my pantry!
