One of the reasons Americans are so fat.

I tend to agree. We are eating with too much fat and too much carbohydrates. A little bit of each will not hurt anyone. Too much fried food in our diets.
You can see some examples in your photo.

Yep, that is what struck me about it - just about everyone in that picture is significantly overweight.

I like it. The trailers form a nice leading line to the fairgoers drifting along the walkway.

Thank God it only the ears we have to eat. Good photo, I have noticed on our markets that it as always the fast food stalls that seem to do better than the marketeers.

OK, I'll bite 😁 What's an elephant ear?
Great shot, love the composition.

An elephant ear is a humongous flat slab of sweet dough that has been deep fried and then sprinkled with powdered sugar - a heart attack on a paper plate! BTW - I've never had one.

Sounds like the breakfast of flea market champions, yum.

Ah American cuisine. Every item guaranteed to contain at least 50% lard by volume, including the customers. Interesting photo. You did a nice job.

Thanks! It is an interesting shot but a rather sad social commentary about how people are drawn to unhealthy, fattening food.

Well, my goodness, this could have been shot right here in Alabama. As a matter of fact I think I recognize some of those folks, particularly those two on the left side of the photo.

Good work Sue, I ordinarily don't care for photos with the subjects backs to the camera, but this seems quite appropriate.

Glad you liked it. I guess this type of scene can be found anywhere.
