This week, the Florida Senate passed a bill
making Key Lime Pie the official state pie; the measure now goes to the House. Earlier this year, there had been
some discussion that pecan pie
should be the state pie, given the large number of pecan farms in the state. This isn't the first time
legislators have tried to pass a measure giving the key lime pie, either. In 1988, similar legislation was
introduced, but it failed. As for other state pies, apple pie is the state pie of Vermont and here's a list of official state foods.

I'm sure it included riders for all kinds of unrelated garbage that was overlooked because it was a cutey bill.

Sorry you guys, but I think this issue is really important. I love to eat keylime pie when i come
on holiday to your fantastic state. I don't think this is a waste of money, like it or not it's part of 'Florida'. Your local economy relies on tourism and tourists like me so don't knock it! its good publicity.
p.s. I like pecan pie too!
