Sorry, you're too fat to eat here

A Mississippi state lawmaker wants to ban restaurants from serving food to obese customers - but please, don't be offended.

My goodness. My thoughts about this are fairly random....

  • Shouldn't lawmakers be spending their time on more important issues.... reducing crime.

  • Deal with health insurance issues first.

  • Is the state going to supplement the restaurant's loss of revenue?

  • Spend your state money to give fat people access to a gym.

  • Start a program to encourage obese people to participate in state funded organized support groups.

  • Not all obese people are fat because they over eat... hmmmm.... let me see... lack of exercise certainly has something to do with it.

  • How do you determine who's obese? *Step on the scale sir... Okay. Now let me check this BMI chart*

  • What is the punishment for letting obese people eat in a restaurant? Community service? Time in the pokey?


I could go on... and on.... but I won't. This is worse than the whole 'big brother's watching you' issue, if you ask my opinion.

Yeah... some things just make ya go hmmmm....
