Its Sate Fair time and that’s bitter sweet. Bitter because it’s sort of the official end of summer, but sweet because it is a time when we can enjoy all those foods that you have been waiting for all year long. Ok, so they’re not the healthiest choices, but its once a year so hey- go for it and enjoy! You can always walk an extra 20 miles. (Just Kidding!)
If you are trying to eat healthier and still sample “The Fair”, some of the better choices might be- the corn - go easy on the butter or the pork chop on a stick, for example.
Or you can do what we do. We share- we try several things, but we buy one of something and share it with our friends or family- that way we get to “taste” French fries, mini-donuts, foot long dogs or cheese curds and not have to feel the pain- literally.
You didn't come with a crowd and still just have to taste a few things? Eat what you want of it and then just don't eat the rest. I know Mom says to clean your plate, but sometimes that isn't he healthiest thing to do. Listen to your body and only eat what you really want.
Just a reminder- Eating mindfully does not mean never indulging or splurging on occasion- it is part of healthy eating- so go and enjoy guilt free!

We’d love to hear about your experiences at the about the State Fair.
What are your favorite foods on a stick (or not on a stick?) What other creative new foods would you like to see at the fair?
