Meet You for Lunch at the Fair

Meet You for Lunch at the Fair

June 15, 2005

Nearly every city and town holds summer fairs, street festivals and other community outdoor events where a big part of the fun is sampling the local cuisine. And while the most popular food items may be something fried, you can have a great time at a summer fair and eat healthfully, too.

The key to healthy eating at a summer festival is planning:

  • Wander around the entire festival area and check out all food options before deciding which ones to buy.
  • When possible, choose small portions.
  • Put all your food on one plate so you can see how much you’re actually eating.
  • Have a seat! Sitting down helps you eat slowly and enjoy your food choices.
