Yummy, delicious food has recently come under increasing fire across North America. In New York, one legislator proposed a ban on salt in restaurants. In British Columbia, a town is considering a ban of fast food (something that has already been done in South Los Angeles and other places). California will soon bar the sale and production of foie gras. Even parts of Kentucky — home of Kentucky Fried Chicken – are considering a trans fat ban.
Food finally struck back when Iowa recently ‘legalized‘ awesome loose meat sandwiches called Maid-Rites. There were, of course, stupid “do it for the kids” people who voted against the sandwiches, which were deemed dangerous because of the cooking method. Said one Senator:
“I’m the mom of six kids. E. coli’s a big deal. I think we ought to protect kids.”
Thankfully, however, some legislators ignored the stupid kids and sided with beef:
“Maid-Rites are very important to me.”
Well said, Senator. God bless Iowa.

It always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when democracy gets it right.
“The process… involves cooked hamburger being placed in the same heated receptacle that’s used to cook raw meat”
Yummy…
