FEBRUARY 1--Mississippi legislators this week introduced a bill that would make it illegal for state-licensed restaurants to serve obese patrons.

Funny. A couple months to go yet before it’s April Fools Day.
Envision this thing passing. (Bush let CFR go, right?) So instead of the possibility of coming indoors and sitting for a healthy meal eaten with utensils, the errand-running obese person must carry the sort of food in his auto that doesn’t require refrigeration or cooking. Fried, processed carbohydrates vacuum sealed in shiny foil bags covered in garish labeling. Good going there, nanny staters. I know 2 rinos and a dem who should be sent to bed without their supper tonight.
I spose if the fatso insists on a hot meal, he can go by the drivethru at any fast food place (lots of good ole transfats & carbs there to keep his cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar spiked) and then eat in his car parked in the lot with the radio on, tossing his wrappers out the window to express his contempt, before resuming his day. Say, maybe the enviroweinies can be coopted to fight this idiocy. It’s all in how you present it. After all, it was sponsored by a coupla republicans (and a dem).
At a shameful time in American history, a black person forced to use the colored service window could assert that his dollar was as green as everyone else’s. Shouldn’t fatty claim that inflation has made his dollar as skinny as everyone else’s, and therefore of equal worth?
Don’t worry ya’ll, it’s still OK to despise a certain group of people on sight without being accused of any “ism.” Ya just gotta pick on the right people.
Looks like the obese will have to underground and dine at an eateasy.

99.999999% of grossly fat people are that way because they’re gluttons. The others have a “thyroid problem”. (Yeah, right.)
I don’t know about that. Smokers thought the same thing.
Me, too. LOL I don’t have a whole lot of sympathy for them anymore.
Probably. We have to drive to Alabama to get our cigarettes after the nanny state got through with us in Tennessee.
Thanks for the ping!
Like the rides at Disney. If you aren’t tall enough for your head to reach the top of some marker, you can’t ride. Same idea only in reverse.
EXACTLY!! Thank You!!! Best post I’ve read here in a week, at minimum.
There would always be some jerk claiming that air-soluble fat was drifting into the no fat section.
Newbies should be embarassed to post their personal prejudices in public, but newbies have no shame.
Years ago the wrestler Andre The Giant stopped at the Lobster Bowl on Rt. 6 in Wareham, MA where they just happened to have a lobster buffet. Andre ate 63 lobsters, so the legend goes and the owner was so proud and happy that he had Andre’s pics on the wall for years.
I think it’s time for a complete change in the way “government” is conducted in this country. Legislators have too much power and too many privileges. They give themselves obscene salaries, exempt themselves from laws that they don’t like, and think that they have the right to tell everyone what to do.
Not much as far as I see.

California, Oregon, maybe Washington...but Mississippi?
These people should have buckets of grits shoved up every orifice in their bodies.
I agree freemike; Mississippi, being at the bottom when the states are ranked for per capita income, and the same when it comes to public school education, one would think that Mississippi legislators would be working on other issues than this. But,”stupid is as stupid does”. Sadly, I have come to the conclusion that those who are too stupid to work in the private sector become school teachers and those who are too stupid to become school teachers become legislators... Btw, awhile back, a friend from the great state of Arkansas shared a joke with me. It's a dinner time prayer and goes like this; "Dear Lord, thank ya for Mississippi, otherwise we'd be number 50"...
Interesting choice of words.
Let's try this:
This is a bill introduced by three elected legislators two of whom are Republicans.
And in a Southern state, no less. Not even nanny Bloomberg has come up with an idea this blatantly offensive to individual liberty -- yet.
I can just see the Mickey sign now: “You must be THIS skinny to eat here.”
What happened to the America I once knew?
There were crazy people back then, too. We just didn't elect as many of them back then.
