The idiot legislator was interviewed on TV and he's a certifiable
pinhead.... his father died of a coronary a couple three months ago so
he went on a witch hunt for something to blame... he has no
medical/dietary training whatsoever and all he did is rant utter
nonsense while spewing spittle and could barely control his wild
gesticulating... the guy is extremely mentally ill, he needs to be
institutionalized before he harms himself and/or others. He's one sad
dude.
