…one week later than NRO and the AP. From today’s Times:

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 17 — The deep-fried Combo Plate may be a little more healthful this year at the Great Indiana State Fair. So say the fair’s leaders, who, taking a step rarely seen in the realm of corn dogs and fried pickles, have banned oils with trans fats from all the fryers that line the grounds here.

And here’s Kathryn’s post and link from it from last week:

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Nobody would claim that a deep-fried Twinkie or Milky Way bar is health food.But maybe it’s easier to justify eating one, if you know it’s been deep-fried without artery-clogging trans-fat oil.Indiana is now the first state to ban trans-fat cooking oils at its state fair, which opened today.
A fair spokesman says it didn’t make much difference to vendors, since about 70 percent were already using trans-fat-free oils.
It only applies to fried foods served at the fair, where the menu ranges from crunchy and greasy onion “blooms” to deep-fried candy bars, along with corn fritters and the familiar funnel cakes.
