You are rummaging in your bag to surreptitiously text someone, but then your eyes dart to an abandoned light-green pencil right under your seat. Of course you take it.

Rollie McCubbin, the Fair's longtime concessions director, reports fielding more fairgoer requests for help ferreting out healthful options, especially gluten-free items and food suitable for diabetics.

Helping people find healthful fair food has been a topic at seminars for state fair officials, with some states more proactive in than others, he notes, adding Iowa is "on the fence on how to accomplish this." McCubbin also doesn't tell vendors what not to serve. "I'm not real big on mandates." (See pictures of what the world eats...
