Welcome to the great (overweight) state of Mississippi...

Mississippi May Ban Restaurant Sales to the Obese

This is ridiculous! I think it's definitely infringing on people's rights.

Well this is why I am glad we have a good legal system in place... If they did pass something like this, it wouldn't last long... There is no way they could legally enforce this...



though on a side note, it would be funny to be standing behind a very large couple and see their reaction.

Wow.
There's gonna be a whole lot of food addicts in withdrawal if that goes down.
But what about if they just go and buy the whole bag of Oreos and eat it in their car on the parking lot of the grocery store? They can't limit this.
Their hearts are in the right place though.

I kinda thought that too. And wondered if they'd try to bribe people going in to the place, "Hey, here's $10, would you bring me out a Big Mac and you can keep the change?"

Like kids trying to get alcohol or cigarettes... just standing outside waiting for the right person to come by...

Yeah! What's next, banning people from smoking in pubs? Wait, the've already done that! Just another step to try and turn us into a big brother state I'm afraid!

 

[HottyToddyChick]

Yeah... in Oxford (where Ole Miss is), they don't even ask smoking or non anymore. Can't even smoke at bars. It's nice to wake up not smelling of cigarette smoke after a night out. I've forgotten how to answer that question though since I'm not used to it.

On campus, we have designated smoking sections, away from buildings and mostly in parking lots. It's supposed to cut down on litter and it is nice to not inhale someone else's smoke walking between classes.

 

[All Else Failed]

Discrimination.

Another case of government sticking its nose where it doesn't belong. I figured stuff like this would start coming up after they started banning cigarettes in most public places.
