Kansas Trivia - Wierd Law

The El Dorado Times published a special section of its paper to celebrate Kansas Day called Kansas Facts and Trivia. Among the 50 entries, was this jewel: "At one time it was against the law to serve ice cream on cherry pie in Kansas." The law was repealed, probably due to its un-Americanism. But, why was it enacted? Could it have been the cherry purist's lobby? or the ice cream crowd's equivalent. Was it a public health issue involving ice cream made with un-pasteurized milk? Whatever the reason, it's a good example of what legislatures do. We have an offender "branding" law on the books today that is every bit as goofy as this wierd law.
