Calgary folk festival offers healthy food alternatives

I think Sasquatch and festivals like it should take a hint from the many events starting to provide a much more impressive variety of food options. For example, The Calgary Folk Music Festival's motto is "only the best". A few years ago, organizers realized that many of their artists and volunteers were vegetarian or vegan, and so they began to cater to those who wanted more healthy non-meat, as well meat, options.

Not everything on offer is low-calorie or low-fat, but it's all full of flavor and has a much higher nutritional value than regular festival fare. Visitors can still get hot dogs but they're gourmet, and veggie dogs are also available. Other food choices include everything from sushi to Pad Thai to Caribbean to Indian. Fresh fruit, BBQ, gelato, organic burritos, salads and much more can all be had a pretty reasonable prices too. Even the beer comes from a local brewery rather than a corporation like Budweiser or Molson. Now that's what I call good eating!

Are there any healthy food options available at festivals and fairs near you?
