No Fatties

Three mentally deficient legislators in Mississippi want to make it illegal for restaurants to serve fat customers. Since two-third of Mississippians are supposedly overweight or obese the freedom to make food choices, evidently, no longer applies. Here is the bill.

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 Mississippi Council on Obesity Prevention and Management? Dear God.

I hate to even indulge this stupidity from other angles, but … will the wait staff be in charge of calculating BMIs of patrons wobbling in for grub? Or will the Mississippi Council on Obesity Prevention and Management equip every greasy spoon in the state with weigh-in equipment? And what if one of these rotund Mississippians is looking for a salad a bowl of oatmeal?

Just curious.
