Ohmigosh, poor Iowans. In the news the Iowa Department of Revenue is taxing Jack-O-Lanterns. Why? Because according to the powers to be, pumpkins are not being eaten as food and must be taxed as Halloween decorations! Invasion of Privacy!!! How do they know people aren't eating the insides????My son, who's at college, just made a homemade pumpkin pie from scratch, THEN turned the rest of the pumpkin into a Jack-O-Lantern. Soooo if we had this crummy sales tax law in Texas, he would have to give the pumpkin pie to the Revenue agents to prove his point!
And did you know: Pumpkin pie is loaded with a healthful phytonutrient called beta-carotene?
So why would anyone not use the insides of the pumpkin to make a pie? :)
