not, and i don't consume junk food.

Depends on how "rational" is defined:
"Of, pertaining to, or attained by reasoning"
The factor most influencing the outcome of any proces of reasoning is the
selection of facts, that are put in (garbage in, garbage out).

The less facts that are taken into account the bigger the part played by
'rationality' in any proces of reasoning. So in this light your statement
"I'm one of the most rational people you'll ever meet, believe it or not"
can be taken to read that you disregard the facts entirely. This is
consistent with the rest of your statements.

To help you build up a database of facts (sometimes called "a sense of
reality") this bit of trivia: coffee is consumed as a liquid ("drink" or
"beverage") not eaten ("food"). This liquid "coffee" is low in fat and
calories which means that it does not qualify as a "junk beverage".
