I mean, seriously. Isn't part of the fun of visiting a theme park or state fair eating yummy fried things that are basically once-a-year splurges?
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go deep fry some candy-bars and then top them with a mixture of melted butter and Coca-Cola syrup.
I should start consulting this ‘guy’ for menu suggestions.
Eat right.... Stay fit... Die anyway.....
Maybe I’m weird or something, but the healthy alternatives are the ones I would have picked anyway.
My thoughts exactly. For cryin' out loud, these foods are not the staple of my daily consumption.
I look at it this way; he has the freedom to write such articles. I also have the freedom to ignore him. When people try to legislate what I can and cannot eat, then it is a problem.
Most of the items on that list don’t appeal to me anyway. Cotton candy - yuck. Snow cone - boring. Nachos - no thanks, I prefer my cheese not to taste like plastic.

I have always thought cotton candy is a great deal for the calories. All that sweet, takes a long time to eat, and only 220 calories for the average ball of cotton candy. Great deal unless you are diabetic!
Half a sandwich, while of course giving you some nutrition, is more than 220 calories.
My favorite theme park junk food: chocolate covered frozen bananas. Not all that unhealthy either.
Exactly! Who has a cotton candy machine at home, or a snow cone maker, or a corndog fryer? You only get these treats at a carnival or an amusement park. Unless you practically live there, these are very rare splurges.
A couple of years ago, we played the state fair. Finally gave into the temptation of trying a deep fried snickers. It tasted like sweet grease.
Did you know ? Cotton Candy machine was invented by a dentist !!
Obviously a guy looking for more job security :)
This sort of killjoy diet chatter is all the rage of late, due to a lot of utter buncombe emerging from the oval office.
Here's my suggestion for him. Tofu and turnip sticks and a bottle of warm designer water...doesn't that make your mouth water?...Of course it does! Top it off with a Sno cone made of plain crushed ice....nothing like it.
Besides if some gets spilled on his Food Police uniform it won't leave a stain!
In the NY area they always have zeppoles.
I kill for zeppoles.
Anyone gets between me and my nachos is gonna get hurt. Real bad!
You are exactly right. I don’t eat stuff like that hardly ever, but if I’m at White Water, I’m eating a lunch of Pizza AND big fat plate of curly fries. It’s a memory of the first taste of freedom getting dropped off there at 12 and getting to pick my own (ridiculously unhealthy) lunch. And I still flip off the system by getting it today. ;o)
First, Dave Zinczenko was caught reusing covers. “Turns out that’s not the only way Zinczenko recycles content: He’s been ripping other writers’ bylines off old Men’s Health articles and passing them off as his own.’’ Now in an article called “Men’s Health articles Men’s Health Editor Plagiarizes His Own Writers” on gawker (dot) com, it was discovered that Sir Idiot “copies and pastes” old Men’s Health articles for his “Eat This, Not That” column for Yahoo! Health that runs under his byline. “So we ran his prose through a search engine. He also steals information from other Men’s Magazine writers and shows them off as his own work. “We discovered that Zinczenko—whose cult of personality includes books, regular TV appearances, and a restaurant in partnership with “wingman” Dan Abrams—routinely rips his writers’ bylines off their articles, slaps his byline on, and republishes the material as though he wrote it himself.”
