Sorry, no fat people allowed
Feb 1, 2008 Health
In Mississippi, there is a bill on the table before the state legislature that would make forbid restaurants from serving obese people. Seriously. From House Bill 282:
AN ACT TO PROHIBIT CERTAIN FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS FROM SERVING FOOD TO ANY PERSON WHO IS OBESE, BASED ON CRITERIA PRESCRIBED BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH; TO DIRECT THE DEPARTMENT TO PREPARE WRITTEN MATERIALS THAT DESCRIBE AND EXPLAIN THE CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING WHETHER A PERSON IS OBESE AND TO PROVIDE THOSE MATERIALS TO THE FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS; TO DIRECT THE DEPARTMENT TO MONITOR THE FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ACT; AND FOR RELATED PURPOSES.
Wow. I really do not think something like this would pass, but the fact that it is even being considered is a little sad. Here is an idea. Serve healthier food so that anyone that is obese will have a chance to do something about it in your restaurant. What is this world coming to?
