Very Weird Food Laws

, ,




Food - almost always a pleasure, right?

I found this little list of weird food laws from the US.

I hope you can get a good laugh from this, like I did. :D



:star: In Alaska, it's illegal to give a beer – or any other alcoholic beverage – to a moose

:star: Missouri cities can levy a tax to support a band, as long as the city's mayor plays the piccolo and band members can eat peas with a knife

:star: In Greene, N.Y., don't eat peas and walk backwards down a street during a concert. It's illegal.

:star: Clawson, Mich.: There's an actual law that makes it legal for a farmer to sleep with his animals. (The law doesn't state whether it's sleep like in :zzz: or sleep like in being naughty with them...)

:star: In Texas, if you take more than three sips of beer while standing, you've broken the law.

:star: Connecticut law says that a pickle is officially a pickle only if it bounces.

:star: To Idaho women in hetero relationships: It's against state law for your man to give you a box of chocolates that weighs less than 50 pounds. :eyes: (I wonder if the law says that he has to share!)

:star: Residents living in a small town in Colorado may not own chickens, but may own up to three turkeys.

:star: In Gainesville, Ga., it is illegal to eat chicken with a fork.

Thanks Carol, you too. :heart:

Thank you. :happy:

There are all kinds of really weird laws on the books here in the U.S., not just dealing with food. That one about the moose, though, I can understand that. My dad used to give our horse handfuls of beer, and she'd walk funny. I can imagine what chaos a drunk moose would cause.

:lol:

Kitty 15. August 2009, 06:01

:lol: Yes, I can imagine that too!
But who would think of giving a moose beer to begin with? P:

Stardancer 15. August 2009, 07:43

Probably somebody like my dad.

:lol:

Kitty 15. August 2009, 07:49

Oh yeah, of course! Homer: Doh! @ myself.

:lol:

Stardancer 15. August 2009, 07:53

:lol:

Hope your weekend is going great, Kitty!

:heart:

Kimmie 15. August 2009, 08:01

:lol: I've heard some of these before, but they're all messed up :lol: you have a great Saturday too :D

Kitty 15. August 2009, 08:26

Thanks Kimmie. :D You too! :happy:

Santa Furie 15. August 2009, 11:01

So Texan lawmakers are lightweights? :lol: I can just see someone who can't handle their booze making a law to cover it up.

Kitty 15. August 2009, 11:11

And who's the one to count the sips??? The bartenders? :D

Hermitess 15. August 2009, 14:16

:lol: I'm not surprised.

1-I know people who give horses beer, dogs beer, etc...

2-Some person probably got hurt walking backwards at a concert and sued somebody.

as for the others, who knows?!! :lol:

Kitty 15. August 2009, 16:08

You're not easily surprised, Herm! :lol:

I must admit, that some of these cause a serious eyebrow-raise here! :D

Angeliki 15. August 2009, 17:42

"I found this little list of weird food laws from the US."


:lol"

I never knew!
in a way I am glad I didn;t :lol:


thanks Kitty,

Aadil 15. August 2009, 17:59

I must speak to the lawyers around here and find out what outdated and ludicrous laws are still on our statute books! :lol:.

Kimberly 15. August 2009, 18:24

lol

Marike 15. August 2009, 19:26

:lol:

Kitty 15. August 2009, 19:44

@ Angeliki ~ I like them too. :D
I wonder how many of these laws that are actually enforced.
Thanks for the warm wishes - they are so appreciated! :heart:

@ Aadil ~ The worst thing is if you get busted for doing something you didn't know was illegal! :D

@ Squeakey & Marike ~ :cool:

Cois 16. August 2009, 10:57

So you have to bounce a damn pickle before it's really a pickle? Homer: Doh! remind me not to eat there and ask for pickles as the waiter would bounce my food first :yuck:

Kitty 16. August 2009, 12:25

Haha, it would be funny to observe how the chefs work!
*bounce* Yes, good enough. *bounce* Nope. *bounce* Nope. *bounce* Oh, here's a good one. ... :D

Cois 16. August 2009, 12:31

Lets just be greatfull it isn't eggs :insane:

I liked this one most :D

Kitty 17. August 2009, 04:30

Most of the guys I know prefer to drink their beer themselves. :D

Ana 17. August 2009, 05:55

I read that to start with as "...Texan Lawnmakers..." and wondered how the hell gardening got into this....:rolleyes:

There's a Canadian beer called Moosehead (it's OK) so...perhaps there's a good reason for that law?? ( :lol: )

r♡se 29. August 2009, 16:13

:lol: Weird!
What's all that with peas and music? I always thought beans were the musical fruit... p:

Kitty 29. August 2009, 18:38

What kind of music do you get out of beans?

No wait!

Don't answer that! :lol:

r♡se 29. August 2009, 19:34

I have to! :lol:

:sing: Beans, beans, the musical fruit. The more you eat, the more you TOOT!

p:

Kitty 29. August 2009, 19:44

:lol::lol::faint:

Cois 30. August 2009, 11:45

*gets beans*

Aadil 2. September 2009, 10:33

t00t! :hat:.
:sing:
baked beans are good for the heart.
The more you eat the more you fart.
The more you fart the better you feel!
That make baked beans a wholesome meal. :sing:.
