What better setting to test the consequences of the impending trans-fat ban than the fried food wonderland of a fair? The Puyallup Fair, the state’s single largest attraction [wiki] and biggest annual fair, is keeping their fryers free of the latest dietary enemy for this year’s seventeen-day event. (however, food already containing trans-fats are allowed to take the plunge into the boling grease). [times]

If elephant ears and funnel cakes can make it through the (slightly healthier) frying process and still turn out delicious, I think that the King County will be alright when the ban begins going into effect [mb] next year. Otherwise, we’re all doomed.
