15 (potentially) killer foods to avoid

If you love fried foods, you gotta love Texas and state fairs. At either you can always find giant-sized versions of already-bad-for-you delicacies like "the hamdog" (hot dog wrapped in beef), with two friendly coats of artery-clogging, deep-fried love. While a fried Twinkie may seem tempting, are the health risks really worth the momentary thrill?

If you're curious about which foods will send your cholesterol and doctor into a tizzy, check out Asylum's deadly dish list of 15 dangerous foods.  Many of their featured and deadly food porn shots were (obviously) snapped at some of America's prized state fairs and in the Lone Star state.What do you think? Do any seem worth the artery damage? Deep-fried Diet Coke, anyone?

    it's called a link, people. as for the foods themselves.....this would be one reason i've never been to a state fair, and that i've never been even close to texas. just the thought of venturing there makes one simply feel dumber, less able to read....

    Do I feel a negative tone about Texas? You know, some of us Texans can read, and we take offense to this poorly written article. I haven't seen or heard of half the foods in this article. Texans may seem ignorant to many, but quite the contrary. I hail from the great state, where we raise our own beef and poultry. We also grow our own organic produce. We drink raw milk and use raw butter to FRY many dishes. My grandparents have done this their whole lives, and believe it or not, they are healthier than most. Not one heart attack!! It's not the "fried" that kills, but all the chemicals and additives that are lethal. This article is garbage to me. Sounds like a tree hugger who doesn't like Texas or those that eat meat.

    I think I'll post a link to an article someone else compiled and wrote and take credit for it. This is at best- laziness, at worst- plagarism. Nemser really has some stones to take credit for this.

    Thank you, Precious. Texas is cool. And I'm not from there.
