ILLINOIS - The American Pie Council is urging the Adoption of Pumpkin Pie as Illinois' Official State Pie. Did you know that Illinois produces three times as many pumpkins as any other state in the US? Did you know that 90-95% of the country's canned pumpkins are processed in the state of Illinois? Did you know that 85% of the world's canned pumpkin is produced in Illinois? And as if that isn't enough, did you know that Pumpkin Pie is the Number 1 choice of dessert at Thanksgiving? Please sign our petition to adopt Pumpkin Pie as the Official Illinois State Pie. Click here to sign, http://www.petitions.moveon.org/sign/adopt-pumpkin-pie-to?source=c.em&r_...
