First-term state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs, who sponsored the child labor measure and owns Smoothie King franchises across the Deep South, said he filed the bill in part because children want to work without having to take lunch breaks.

It's just some greedy asshole who wants those 14 year olds to work a little harder and a little cheaper. Breaks cost money.

Next time read the article.
