T IN THE PARK ...... www.tinthepark.com .......Queues are, of course, an occupational hazard of rock festivals, whether they are for the loos, the beer or even the rock bands themselves. But this year’s T in the Park Festival, held at Balado near Kinross in July, witnessed a more surprising one – for the healthy food arena. Over the course of the weekend many of the 80,000 young fans who had flocked to hear the Kaiser Chiefs, the Verve and Amy Winehouse were also to be seen waiting patiently for the range of healthy food and drink on offer in the Healthy T area, developed in partnership with the Scottish Government, Big Day Out Ltd and Tennents Lager. In fact the arena, which also included music, massage and confidential sexual health advice and screening, was one of the event’s big hits. Many said they chose to eat exclusively at Healthy T over the course of the weekend and some said it was their favourite part of the whole festival. A number of the traders have already asked if they can be located in the Healthy T area next year.
