Errr ..... do you understand the meaning of the word literally in this context ?
Yes. Junk. Garbage. Trash.
It is made of things that would otherwise be garbage, if not made into junk food. Junk food is made, at least partly, of literal junk.
Literally is correctly used in this context.
Did you just try for a clever semantic response, i stead of reading the whole post? I explained that some foods would otherwise be thrown out, waste produce and byproducts, are instead processed into "food". Companies make money by turning this garbage into junk food. That's one reason why it is so cheap.
If you disagree with me on whether or not companies do this, fine, but in the context I used the word, it is LITERALLY correct.
