I copied this list from another site to help us figure fair foods. Notice the serving sizes. I've never seen a funnel cake that was only 6" around here, but maybe they are that size where you live. Anyway, this is just a guideline!

WOW,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sure glad I do not go to fairs very often and only usually have a cob of corn, maybe slurge once in a blue moon on an elephant ear and strawberry lemonade ( which i couldn't live without that at least once a month). However it is nice to know that there are some good things that aren't too bad for you at the fair, etc. Thank you for this list jana~!!!!!!!

And here I would have thought that funnel cake would be more than a corndog or Roasted Peanuts!!!

Very interesting...I will have to keep this in mind for when the fair comes around...if I go.

Really gets you thinking doesn't it?? Now when any of us are going to the fair and we're at a booth ordering we'll be like:

"Nope nope, that's has too many calories. No not that it has too much fat. No way, that has way too many carbs.... Oh geez, that's exceeding my points. Oh looky there, yes, theres something perfect, I'll take one please"


And then proceed to walk away with our bottle of water!!


A good list to have Jana.

I don't care how many calories are in any of that stuff because the fair only comes once a year and I am going to enjoy it! About the only thing I ever eat there is a BBQ sandwich, a diet soda and a funnel cake, possibly some popcorn. You can't go to the fair and not have a funnel cake! Or I can't anyway!

ah man did I live dangerously last week at the stampede,,,I had bbq sandwich, corn dog, corn on the cob, and a funnel cake ,,,washing it down with a coke!
