    It's condescending to think that we don't know carnival food is unhealthy....."No Really, a deep fried piece of anything is not good for me? Who would have thought?" Nobody goes to the fair and thinks they are getting anything even remotely healthy on the Midway, we eat it because it tastes delicious. Now leave me alone and let me enjoy my elephant ear please.
