Ban on Restaurants Serving Fat People
A new bill in Mississippi would revoke the license of any restaurant that feeds obese people. It is quite possibly the most asinine bill I have heard of in months, on so many levels. Are restaurant owners supposed to weigh their diners? And even if rejected, what do you think the obese people will do? Might they not go buy doughnuts in bulk or ask their friends to pick up the easiest carry out food for them: fast food? Besides, irrelevant of all of this, who do Mississippi legislators think they are, telling people whether or not they can buy food from private establishments?
Of course, if Mississippi didn't spend $220 million on "free medical care," as the article notes, people just might begin to have true incentives to remain healthy.
