Lawmakers playing with food

Yesterday Chicago aldermen overturned their two year ban on the restaurant sales of foie gras.  Restaurant owners are ecstatic, the alderman who originally sponsored the bill banning goose liver, shouted his objection to the approval vote.

The Missouri House, wrapping up for this session and having taken care of all the important issues, voted to make the ice cream cone Missouri's official state dessert.  The vote was 112-31.  Who voted no and why?  Did 31 legislators have some other dessert they lobbied for?
