My podcast producer, Billy P, asked me this question. “You know I love fast food, particularly onion rings. A friend told me that a large order...ok super size has about 500 calories. Is that right?

For a super size, that’s probably pretty close. It reminds me of food from the county fair or carnival. You’ll be surprised at the calories and fat in some of your favorite fair foods. Remember, I’m talking about super sizes here which unfortunately are pretty common.

Onion rings: 500 calories and 30 grams of fat
Corn dog: 400 calories and 20 grams of fat
Fried dough (like a funnel cake): 1,000 calories and 50+ grams of fat
