Illegal for restaurants to serve the obese

[Taximom]

If Mississippi already has serious campaigns in place about losing weight etc., then this is the last thing that should be hogging up state representatives time. Ha, pardon the pun.

I agree, it's ridiculous and a complete waste of time.

Something is terribly wrong with these politicians. Fortunately there are some good roads other than that most seemed to be a waste.

Taximom,
I am very aware of the every ten minute commercials for the “Let’s Go Walking” Campaign, I choose to watch paid TV! Like I.D.

ha ha... this is kind of funny!!! i don't see how they could do this legally,, but i think it's interesting. if obese people can't control themselves (the ones who are eating themselves to death, not those who have a true medical condition)... then it seems the government stepping in and being their mommy is the only way to save them from themselves.

That also opens the door for them to force people with other addictions to quit, like drinking, smoking, gambling or drugs. And then there goes our Free Will, right?

Great, they are not working on child protection laws or elder abuse laws but they are sitting pretty wasting money on banning overweight people from eating at resturants??? WTH!

I would stab someone over my Twinkees! Honestly! LOL.

Seriously, this is why I hate most politicians. Protect those who need protecting and leave the rest of us alone!

the goverment is not my mother. i have 1 of those and i dont let her tell me what to do either. if i choose to eat to much or stay up too late or not brush my teeth it is my choice. the goverment does not need to tell me to wash behind my ears or use soap in the bath. when the goverment can balance a budget and keep pedo's off the street and not screw the interns they can judge me. until then i do not need them to play mommy and save my fat a$$

If lawmakers want to make any laws concerning restaurants, it should be the banning of cellphones. I can't tell you how disruptive and annoying it is to go to a nice restaurant and hear 20 cellphones ringing, or people talking loudly on their phones.

Hey lady, I don't want to hear your stupid phone conversation. Shut your yap!

I hear some finer restaurants are tacking on $5 phone charges for using your cellphone during dinner. A step in the right direction I say.

Sorry for the off topic rant.
