The bulk of food and drinks sold by four out of five global producers across three major markets are unhealthy, according to a survey, with Kraft Heinz Co. faring the worst. 
The analysis conducted by the World Action on Salt, Sugar & Health, an NGO, selected 2,346 products sold by Danone, Kellogg Co., Kraft Heinz, Nestle SA and Unilever Plc in Australia, France and Mexico. It ranked them on the basis of the most widely used standards — Health Star Rating, Nutri-Score and Warning Labels. Apart from Danone, all others sold a greater proportion of unhealthy food.

"Junk Food Junkie" by one-hit wonder Larry Groce debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 for the weekend ending January 10, 1976.  It spent 15 weeks on the chart, peaking at #9.  It was Groce's only release to chart.
