Mississippi Pols Seek To Ban Fatsos - New bill would make it illegal for restaurants to serve the obese
"FEBRUARY 1--Mississippi legislators this week introduced a bill that would make it illegal for state-licensed restaurants to serve obese patrons. Bill No. 282, a copy of which you'll find below, is the brainchild of three members of the state's House of Representatives, Republicans W. T. Mayhall, Jr. and John Read, and Democrat Bobby Shows. The bill, which is likely dead on arrival, proposes that the state's Department of Health establish weight criteria after consultation with Mississippi's Council on Obesity. It does not detail what penalties an eatery would face if its grub was served to someone with an excessive body mass index."
This gross bill is obviously going to face hefty opposition.

You know it's proposed legislation like this that makes me think that "we the people" need to form our own citizen oversight groups that would monitor and levy fines on elected representatives who waste our tax dollars creating such nonsense. They keep forgetting that it is the common good that should be addressed - bridge repairs versus how many Big Macs I stuff in my mouth a day. And for that matter it's none of their concern what other objects I stick in my mouth, so drop the morality stuff as well. Jeez!
Sooo, you shtuff Big Macs you say? Ve vill need ein shtool sample for ze common good, ja?
