Freakishly Happy

Ranting:
I've really begun to enjoy the State Fair, don't get me wrong. But it seemed a little odd that when the news is constantly telling us how fat our nation is, that an event of this calibur would have a plethora of junk food. Not just junk food, but seriously warped junk food. Deep fried twinkies and oreos, type junk food.
I think that there should be some kind of rewards benefits for stands that sell healthy yet tasty foods.
As a vegetarian it was quite difficult to find entrees that were meat free. Sure, I could eat all of the funnel cakes and onion rings I could manage, but really there were no entrees to be found. I can understand this as it is an event that is there to celebrate agriculture, a part of which, of course is the meat industry. But soy products are also made from plants. At the entire fair there was only one stand where meat-substitues were sold, and this booth only served Veg-corndogs (which are tastier than regular corn dogs, I might add). Everywhere else I asked they pointed me in the direction of the only salad bar which was located in the AG building, when I asked for vegetarian stands.
Don't get me wrong, a salad is good once in a while, but sometimes you just want a little more.
Hopefully things will come around in coming years.
