PETA gives the Iowa State Fair a deep-fried shaming

The Iowa State Fair was awarded a "certificate of shame" yesterday by PETA.

Zoom in: The Staggeringly Worst Example Award is "for climate, cruelty and cholesterol obliviousness."

The Deep-Fried Bacon Brisket Mac-n-Cheese Grilled Cheese epitomizes those problems, the group said in a statement.

💬 Our thought bubble: This is just "a little warm up" grease for Gov. Tim Walz at the start of the Minnesota State Fair on Thursday.
