Ever wonder which foods are really bad for you? Well, here you go. Here is what the experts call the worst foods. At the top is all of those deep fried foods you find at your local county fairs. Yes, the funnel cakes are bad for you, no matter how you try to convince yourself otherwise. Also making the list, kids' fruit snacks that have no fruit whatsoever and are basically candy in disguise. There appears to be no end to the amount of calories and fat you can fit onto a bun. Take the Hardees Monster thickburger at over 1400 calories and the BK Stacker at 1,000. And that tempting Cinnabon will set you back two meals at over 800 calories.
