How is entertaining you not improving your life?

I love getting junk food every once in a while. It 'improves' my life because I enjoy it. Eating a lot of it regularly would not.

I'm not judging anyone and I'm by no means saying that it's easy to discern how 'junk' a form of entertainment is. I'm just saying that I started wondering whether this quality food I'm having a lot of might just be cleverly dressed up junk food. Specifically in regards to 'quality' shows like GoT and Westworld.

I really don't mean that in a pretentious way. I watch stuff that most people would probably consider junk, so that would be hypocritical of me.
