Weirdest Food Laws in Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota

Every state has some strange laws that are still on the books. Here in South Dakota, horses are not allowed in fountains unless they're wearing pants.

In Washington, it's illegal to hunt sasquatches. In Tennessee, you can't hold office if you've ever been in a duel and it's against the law to eavesdrop in Oklahoma.

When it comes to food there are also strange laws on the books and thanks to Taste of Home they have shared some of them with us.

Fried chicken is definitely a favorite picnic food, but in Gainesville, Georgia, the Poultry Capital of the World, you'd better not get caught eating chicken with anything other than your hands. No silverware allowed!

But what about our tri-state area? In St. Cloud, Minnesota, it is still illegal to eat burgers on Sundays. Something tells me, however, that this is one law that hasn't been enforced for a long time.

Indianola, Iowa at one time banned ice cream trucks from driving down the streets of their neighborhoods.

Finally, the weirdest South Dakota food law is the one that bans anyone from sleeping in a cheese factory. How you could fall asleep in a cheese factory is beyond my level of understanding. Unless, of course, you ate yourself into a dreamy cheese coma!
