In honor of some of the pics from the County Fair thread, I give you This Is Why You're Fat.com, a website filled with the most disgustingly unhealthy food some people actually eat. Enjoy.

Whoever decided to replace the tortilla chips on a plate of nachos with BACON is GENIUS.

Yeah, it was Diva's Corndog Day thread.

The second visit is nowhere near as fun, though. It highlights the banality of evil, in that all the foods on there consist of the same pork and cheese as (a) each other and (b) the McDonald's breakfast menu.

My god, I dont think I have ever seen so much glistening food before.
I am pretty amazed at how people LOVE to deep fry so many weird things! Every year at the State fair of TX there are several more items added to the fried list ... things that should never be immersed in grease. So gross.

I am far from a very healthy eater (my bacon onion butter recipe is proof enough of that, I think). But Jesus Christ, WTF is wrong with people? The only thing I've ever actually eaten on that list was fried ravioli. Even then, I only did it to be polite, because the friend I was eating with RAVED about how good they were. All I could think was "Unhealthy" and "Gross". I don't think I could even bring myself to eat a lot of that stuff (eg., the hurlburger; a burger wrapped in a fucking jelly donut?! WTF?!!?) to be polite.

The Scottish are well known for their love of deep frying everything, I've heard about deep fried Mars bars and creme eggs.

I've also been assured deep fried sausages are quite the delicacy in some parts of England, blurgh

I kinda miss the TX state fair just for the amount of shit that people would manage to cake in batter and fry. You should go snoop for us and come back with photos to post in that County Fair thread.

I tried the McDonald pizza (pizza with a 2 chesseburges, fries, McNuggets and cheese topping) 2 years ago for the Superbowl, to get in the American spirit.

I expected worse. It's better than anything by Pizza Hut actually.

No. It appears to be suffering from swine flu, though.

Really, any idiot can stab a fried salami into a birthday cake and submit it to that site for shock value, but this bowl of snot is something someone is trying to make money from.

It's called a battered sausage which is basically a sausage in the batter they use for (the fish) in fish and chips. I have also seen battered burger.

My friend swears by deep fried Oreos, which are sold down the street from him at a BBQ joint (I assume they are transplants from Texas).

Funnily enough back in my teenage days we used to pop into the local chip shop after a night on the beer, the "meat combo" was the food of choice.

Basically it was

1 Jumbo battered Sausage
1 battered burger
1 spam fritter (battered spam)

Ah to be a teenager again and not put on weight eating all that junk.

There's a sports bar near me that server little deep-fried sausage bites, but they go the extra mile by adding a layer of cheese inside.

Jesus, I've never seen anything like that in the chippy's around here. Which is surprising considering the amount of fat bastards I see.

My girlfriend is a Geordie and she says they love their battered sausages up there (snigger).

I think I've lead a sheltered life when it comes to grossly indulgent food, just about everything on this thread makes me feel sick just looking at it.

Doesn't sound that bad to me. In fact, the only thing I think I'd eat on that page is the bacon nachos.

The hurler burger on that site is basically just a Luther Burger. I have neither had nor seen one, but I do remember a particularly gross episode of the Boondocks that centered around it.

I tried deep fried Oreos & Milky Way bars, just to see if there was anything to this, at some Country Music festival my wie dragged me to. I don't get the attraction, cognitive dissonance about how bad it is for you aside. All the cream, caramel, nougat & chocolate melts & runs out of the thing; it was little more than batter, with (in the case of the Oreos) a residue of cookie crumbs adhering to it. My curiosity re: deep fried Twinkies, which were not available there, is now safely abated.

Yeah, everything fried is terrible, but what amazes me about that site is the ingenuity of some of these dishes. I mean, a hamburger helper pizza burger? French Fries with pastrami on top? SPAM SUSHI?!? I swear, if you comb back through the archives there they have a batter dipped, spam wrapped Velveeta cheese product log.

No, that's Spam Loco Moco.

And yes, that's a better candidate for the list.

Spam Musubi is just a slice of cooked spam on sushi rice with a piece of seaweed holding it all together (with a little teriyaki in between). It's yummy.

Okay, musubi doesn't sound so bad. Loco Moco looks awful. I also haven't been to Ono or any of its counterparts in ages, so that doesn't help my lack of knowledge there.

Growing up with the State Fair of Texas, it's frustrating to see the new deep fried 'inventions' they come up with every year. I thought the fried Oreos, which my co-worker calls the 'balls of God', were enough, but deep fried bananas, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?

Ladies and Gentlemen, to represent Britain I give you the Munchy Box

When I used to live in Glasgow this was my go to piece of decadence. Upon returning to my beloved England I found myself distraught at their lack of existence here, until I found out a takeaway in my dear home county of West Yorkshire was selling them
