Can you eat healthy at the Minnesota State Fair?

[WCCO-TV, August 26, 2024] Every year, there is someone out there questioning if you can be “healthy” at the Minnesota State Fair. WCCO-TV invited Allina Health family physician Josh Scheck, MD to address that question. While Dr. Scheck says the fair is meant to be fun and you should not feel guilty for indulging, he says there are ways to make the experience feel "healthier".

Dr. Scheck says:

• Plan out the things you want to try before heading to the fair.
• Buy the smallest portion.
• Share with others.
• Visit the fair multiple times so you don’t feel like you must stuff yourself to try everything you want.
