Three lawmakers want to make it illegal for restaurants in Mississippi to serve obese customers.
House Bill No. 282 which will be introduced in this month states:
"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 is going to allow health inspectors to take away permits from restaurants who repeatedly serve obese customers. The bill is not expected to gain much support. Now what kind of nonsense is this?? I guess they're trying to put a limit on food like alcohol.
Can you imagine that: "I'm sorry sir/mam I cannot serve you another cheeseburger, you are obese according to the written law and you have reached the state limit"
Prediction if this becomes a law by some miraculous event, I'm guessing the crime rate will shoot up in Mississippi!!
