We offer an array of healthy cuisine, from salads to fruit smoothies made with\u00a0fresh fruit (not frozen) and chicken gyros with all white-meat chicken and vegetables.<br \/>\nLast year nutritionists from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcdonalds.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">McDonalds<\/span><\/a> came out every weekend to offer tips on healthy eating. The message was: make the right choices. It&#8217;s ok to indulge once in a while.

Well, one with each visit). And don&#8217;t even think I&#8217;m going to provide you with the calorie count on these goodies! Sheesh &#8211; I&#8217;m trying to encourage you to come to the Fair!<br \/>\nSo, from now until September, eat your fruits and vegetables, whole grains and drink plenty of water.
