What people eat at county fairs has long fascinated me. It is probably because I am a health food and organic food nut. The average American eats way too much stuff they should not be eating. This is one of the reasons we have so many health issues in this country.

It’s also true that most people do not realize how awesome organic and fresh food can taste and they think they would be giving up so much if they tried it.

Well, I am here to tell you it’s simply not true. Orangic and healthy food has wonderful taste, – it’s just different from what most people are used to. Anyway this is what the fairgoers ate at this year’s Alameda County Fair
