I didn't expect this, since Indiana is thought to be a red state. The Indiana State Fair has forced all the vendors serving food to remove all trans fats from their products. Read about it
here. I thought that if any state fair would ban trans fat it would be a place like " progressive" California, not Indiana. Can't say I have since much or any media coverage of this, I guess they didn't think Indiana Fair would be the first to do something like this either.
I guess there aren't any places that are free from this liberal nonsense. Good luck getting something that looks conservative done in a place like San Francisco. But liberals get their way here in Indiana anyway. Good luck to the vendors trying to comply with this. They changed the rule on June 26, and the fair starts on August 8. Not much time to change. I wonder how many vendors will pass on this years fair because they can't or won't be able to be ready for this trendy fad.
America doesn't need the Nanny state, nor does it have the right to create it. Just because someone cannot control themselves and eat stuff they shouldn't, doesn't mean the government should take away my freedoms. Next year trans fat will be forgotten by the elites but stupid new rules will remain. Dumb move Indiana State Fair.
