Photo Gallery: L.A. County Fair Food, or How to Live Longer by Looking at Pictures of Food Instead of Eating It

For all you chocolate-covered-bacon devotees, a subtle reminder that the L. A. County Fair is still going on. There's a lot of weird stuff--Elvis nesting dolls, Dodger coffins--on display, in addition to the vast sea of humanity, which can get pretty odd too. And then there's the food. Check out these pictures from photographer Shannon Cottrell. If you can't make it down to Pomona before the fair ends on October 4th, you can at least live vicariously and imagine eating these funnel cakes and Whoopie pies and, yes, Huell Howser dogs. Hey, at least you'll live longer.
