No, not knocking them at all as an occasional treat. I worry about people who eat these sorts of things daily, though. We have our own deep fried 'health foods' that can hold their own with anything else offered world wide. 'Pluto Pups' are a case in point - similar to corn dogs but deep fried in batter and usually served with lashings of tomato sauce. They look disgusting and taste similarly, or at least they did on the only occasion I was tempted to try one.
