My State, Oklahoma, has an official meal. Yep. In 1988 the legislature adopted the official state meal. Here it is:
"cornbread, sausage and gravy, chicken fried steak and pecan pie....the menu also includes fried okra, squash, barbecue pork, biscuits, grits, corn, strawberries and black-eyed peas."
Now that's a hell of a meal people. I'm pretty sure that if you ate sausage and gravy, fried okra, grits, biscuits, and black-eyed peas all at once you'd immediately mutate into Boss Hogg or something.
Hmmmm, maybe I can get Mungowitz and his boys to test this theory?
Now in an interesting intergovernmental clash, the Mayor of Oklahoma city is rebelling and asking his constituents to lose 1,000,000 pounds. Hizzoner opines, "you're not really going to take on obesity unless you acknowledge that we eat too much and don't eat the right foods."
Two questions: (1) Will the state legislature now meet in emergency session and remove this bozo? And, (2) given that his 1,000,000 pounds goal is somewhat like Dr. Evil's pathetic ransom demand (its well under 2 lbs per person), shouldn't they?
