SCR 36 Summary

• Rescind the "Oklahoma Meal" established by House Concurrent Resolution 1083 from the 1988 legislative session.

• The Oklahoma Meal consisted of fried okra and squash, cornbread, barbecue pork, biscuits, sausage and gravy, grits, corn, strawberries, chicken fried steak, pecan pie, and blackeyed peas.

• The resolution cites Oklahoma's poor health ranking (49th nationally in 2009) and the high caloric and sodium content of the meal (2,700 calories, 125 grams of fat, 5,250 milligrams of sodium) as justification for rescission.

• Direct the State Legislature to distribute a copy of the resolution to the State Board of Health.
