You truly believe that passing legislation regarding the naming of FOOD is not bonkers?

My god, Hortlund. My god.

Dude, there are so many whacky laws out there... Naming food is a real non-issue.

I mean if you want to look for weird laws, how about these:

In Kentucky it is illegal to marry the same man more than three times.

In Tennessee it is illegal to use a lasso to catch fish.

In Natoma, Kansas it is illegal to throw knifes at men wearing suits.

In Newark New Jersey it is illegal to buy ice cream after 6pm unless you have a note from a doctor.

Frankly, there are hundreds of more peculiar laws..and they can be found in pretty much any country. These weird laws does not reflect on sanity of the various governments.

Found some more laws.

I Cali, Colombia, a woman is only allowed to have sex with her husband. The first time the married couple are to have sex, the girls mother must be in the room.

In Indonesia, the punishment for masturbation is beheading.

I Libanon men are allowed to have sex with animals, but it has to be an animal of female sex. To have sex with a male animal is punishable by death.

I Bahrain it is allowed for a doctor to examine a womans genetalia. It is however expressly forbidden for him to look at the gentalia directly, he has to use a mirror.

So, the truth is finally out:

We have immature children running this country.

I’m in “shock and awe”.

The French embassy's response to the menu amendments: "I wonder if it's worth a comment. Honestly. We are working these days on very, very serious issues of war and peace, life or death. We are not working on potatoes."
