"Somehow I knew it would end like this, one man and a bucket."

Look, the last thing we would want to do is make fun of a charity that raises thousands for the Cancer Society, but you've got to admit that Junk Free June can get a little tiresome.

What even counts as junk? You'll pry our salt and vinegar chips from our cold, dead hands.

One dairy farmer from Ashburton obviously thought the same, and he showed it by eating junk food every day of June.

Over at @dairymanNZ on Twitter, our new hero posted a photo every day of the chocolate, pies and fried food he ate while others were posting green smoothies and raw food.

The series was very well-received, with most agreeing that the whole idea is hilarious, but there was one potential site of controversy. This guy likes pineapple on his pizza.

Astute readers will note that it's now July 1, so both Junk Free June and this project have ended. @dairymanNZ's last meal (of the month, not his life) was a bucket of KFC.

Junk Free June, DAY THIRTY!

The man behind the tweets, who wants to leave his real name out of things, says he's feeling fine after his month on junk food.

"Some days it was just a chocolate bar, but I did skip breakfast for most of June so weight gain has been negligible."

While he hadn't initially realised Junk Free June was a cancer fundraiser, and didn't want to cause offence by seeming to mock something so serious, @dairymanNZ decided to keep going because it was making people laugh.

"I just happened to have a custard square in the fridge on day one and tweeted about Junk Free June while holding it. There was never any intention to go further than that, but I got a great response," he says.

"It really was just a single light hearted tweet that snowballed."

At last count, the actual Junk Free June had raised $375,883 for the Cancer Society of New Zealand.
