Just a quick post this morning to note my pride that the Indiana State Fair has banned trans fats.
There’s lots of coverage about this, but the Indy Star notes that the ISF is the first state fair to make such a healthful choice. More details in this USA Today piece, including a trans fats primer.
Several vendors report that the trans fat ban won’t impact the taste of their elephant ears, deep fried Twinkies, etc. But I beg to differ and agree with veteran concessionaire John Barto, who says he already made the switch to Omega-9 Canola and Sunflower Oils because the food tastes better.
Now the challenge is to make a Twinkie, non fried, without trans fats.
The Indiana State Fair wraps up this Sunday.
