Un-Fucking-Believable!!

Lawmakers want to deny fat people (as definaed by the state and their bogus BMI charts) the right to eat out.

Yep, fat folks are the new "niggers" in modern society - but in these fruitcakes minds, it's "different", because "obesity" is controllable by willpower, and fat folks are just "lazy" and "weak".

<sarcasm>Yesa massa, I just be shuckin' and jivin' and I get mah food to go at the back door. I won't make yah loose yah license for feedin' fatties in public.</sarcasm>

Yes, all you people who cheered when they started making all kinds of laws against smoking in public and then private spaces, guess what? This is the logical extension - legislation of personal choice in the interests of the state keeping its "costs" down.

Where's my fucking chocolate. I swear, if I lived in this asshole's state I'd stage an "eat-in" at his office. Fucking health nazi.

This is a few idiots out to get some time in the news for their agenda.

1) It won't pass. It would be political suicide, and they know it.

2) If it did, the courts would shoot it down so fast.

Well yeah, Mississippi state representatives are idiots

That's funny, we here in NY heard the same claims when the battle began over smoking. "They'll never pass it." "It's unconstitutional."

They still passed it and they are consistently expanding the range of it! In some areas, you can't smoke within 200 FEET of a building.

All it really took was the right spin and enough cashflow and advertising.
