In another report from this year, a family in Pennsylvania got into a scuffle stemming over food issues.
George Rhome, who is described as an "easygoing guy" complained about the way the vegetables were cooked during dinner. Then the chicken was served and he became upset it had been baked instead of fried. The comments offended his daughter-in-law who was cooking so she threw a chair at him.
