Three legislators want to make it illegal for restaurants to serve obese customers in Mississippi.
House Bill No. 282, which was introduced this month, says: Any food establishment to which this section applies shall not be allowed to serve food to any person who is obese, based on criteria prescribed by the State Department of Health after consultation with the Mississippi Council on Obesity Prevention and Management established under Section 41-101-1 or its successor. The State Department of Health shall prepare written materials that describe and explain the criteria for determining whether a person is obese, and shall provide those materials to all food establishments to which this section applies. A food establishment shall be entitled to rely on the criteria for obesity in those written materials when determining whether or not it is allowed to serve food to any person.
The proposal would allow health inspectors to yank the permit from any restaurant that "repeatedly" feeds extremely overweight customers.

They're state legislators. As for our federal Senators, well, one is a pandering moron by the name Trent Lott, the other you don't hear about much, although he is senior, and is a great Senator by the name Thad Cochran.

and THAT alone goes to show ya how inane the bill is!

One of the bill's sponsors is now claiming they did it to bring attention to the obesity problem knowing it would never pass. MS is the fattest state in the nation right now.
Nice way to spend taxpayer's money and time guys!!!

I talked to my folks in MS tonight, and asked them if they knew that the state was making national news for being idiotic. no one in the state seems to have heard about this . . . yet.
they were pissed. :-)
