It sort of depends on where you are.  Where I live the food is actually 
pretty healthy.  For instance there's quite a bit of vegetarian food and 
the most common meat is probably fish.  Southern cooking (by which I 
mean the south-east US) is quite another story though.  Do a youtube 
search for "Paula Deen" to see what I mean.  State fairs are also sort 
of known as a place where you can expect to get the unhealthiest food 
imaginable, particularly deep fried things and food-on-a-stick.  For 
instance, I've heard of fried Coca-Cola, fried ice cream, fried 
Twinkies, and probably the worst, fried butter on a stick:

Really though, this sort of food in pretty rare and you'll only find it 
at a few state fairs.
