Worst Fair Foods and the Calories You’ll Consume

Nothing like fresh fudge, not too soft and not too hard. Today is National Fudge Day and a day to honor fudge, but at the same time if you're like me, you don't bother to think about the number of calories there are in a piece of fudge. I just woof it on down.

Then I started thinking about the food at fairs and festivals. It's that time of the year, church festival, fairs and the delicious foods of Summer. Who can resist, foot long chili dogs, cotton candy and the funnel cakes. They are all difficult to resist, and what I tell myself, festival season is just so short, I just have to take advantage of enjoying all my favorites. So, if you are like me and can't resist, you may want to check out just how many calories are in many of the festival delights
