Meandering Thoughts #57

Should The Great Minnesota Get-Together be retitled The Great Minnesota Eating Disorder?

Each year the fair’s new food choices are highlighted and reviewed. Every fucking year without exception. Looking for the latest food-on-a-stick? Whether fried or greasy or sugary or high in carbohydrates, there’s something for (almost) everyone.

Food choices are close at hand regardless of where you’ve entered. If you see a line, you’ve found food. Bucket of chocolate chip cookies. Veggies on a stick. Cream puffs. Cheese curds. Poutine. Cheese burgers. Ice cream. Pizza. Curry. Mini donuts. Pretty much something for everyone….

…except if you’re looking to eat healthy. Corn on the cob? Grilled chicken and watermelon? Not many choices there!
