The worst fair foods

[lawren2]

I have to laugh when I see these articles. My family probably eats less fast food than any other. I personally always keep an eye out for things that I may as well glue to my thighs as ingest.

We don't live at amusement parks and if you ARE going to the county or state fair I say ENJOY. One day of gluttony won't kill you...

Here are the worst of the worst:

Funnel Cakes Everyone loves the taste of deep-fried dough, but the average funnel cake has roughly 760 calories and 44g fat! AHHHHHHHHH! You're WAY better off eating a deep-fried Snickers bar, and that's saying something (though we certainly don't recommend THAT either).

Corn Dogs Oh, the convenience (and sheer excitement) of food on a stick! But what's the cost of just one cornmeal-coated pup? Roughly 375 calories and 21g fat! If it's food on a stick we're seeking, we'll stick with Tootsie Pops (only 60 calories each!).

Frozen Lemonade Seems so innocent and refreshing, but the stats on this sugary stuff might make you cry. A 16-oz. serving contains 280 calories and 63g of sugar. We say you wait 'til you get home and then whip up one of our 30-calorie swaps!

French Fries You know you're going to burn some calories walking around, but unless you're taking fast-paced laps around the park, 500 calories and 25g fat aren't worth it for a measly 6 ounces of fries.

Peanut-Coated Caramel Apple It may seem like a good idea at the core (get it?!), but this is one rotten apple! Chomp on one of these things and you're looking at around 400 calories and 10g fat. That's just nuts.

I agree. It's nice to spend one day now and then just letting go of your healthy eating habits.
