According to a Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations site I found,it stated that there are no laws reguarding lunch or break periods. I am really sorry,but it sounds like your state will let your boss do this legally!
Turbowray is correct. There are actually quite a few states that have no laws regarding rest or meal breaks, and Missouri is one of them.
