City officials in Des Moines, Iowa, have passed an ordinance requiring food cart vendors to close between 1:30am and 5:30am in order to cut down on food-fighting, loitering drunks . According to a city police lieutenant: "A lot of times what happens is because it's so thick in the crowds, people are trying to get in line to get served, that causes some issues as far as fighting."
