Here’s a delicious radioactive candy bar to rejuvenate you:

Five Medical Revolutions, According to the UK’s National Health Service
Know what’s most amazing about these advances in medicine from the past 60 years? That they’re common enough to seem un-amazing in 2008.
If I write about the patient empowerment/doctor-patient relationship/parent advocate issue to an exhaustive degree on this blog, it’s only because I have the luxury to live in a place with access to all this medical technology, and I’m supremely grateful for that.
Don’t Eat These Carnival Foods If You’re Trying to Be Healthy
Most unhealthy choices at the fair, according to Newsweek. You can guess the worst culprits, I’m sure, but this gallery begs the question: isn’t “most” kind of redundant here? When you go to the fair, do you eat healthy food?
No. You go for the funnel cakes.
And to think I brought back just regular dark chocolate from Canada!.
You know, I’ve never eaten a funnel cake but I see people eating them and it just looks like a stomach ache to me!
I agree – who goes to a carnival and expects to eat healthy?? LOL! Never heard of a funnel cake. Hmmmmm.
Seriously? You guys have never eaten funnel cakes? Although maybe they don’t make them in Canada, Wendy.
Mmmm…..hot, fried, powdered sugar-dusted pastry. Like doughnuts, only so much better.
Is that like “fried dough?”
I always shake my head at the few people who actually opt for salads or veggie burgers at a fair. Really? With BBQ ribs or sausage and peppers right next door? Even if you’re a vegetarian, there are some fun choices like fritters, felafel and other fried delicacies that can be had once a year without too much guilt.
Fried dough, funnel cake, elephant ears – all the same basic idea with some variation on shape. All good – again, once a year only.
I was surprised by the 600 calorie snow cones. I knew they were full of sugar, but….Wow!
Yeah, if I’m going to consume 600+ calories at once, it will be in the form of sugary fried dough, not sweetened ice. Cannot resist the funnel cakes.
Cannot.
