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.

I think reasonable people could differ on the seatbelt law up until they started designing cars to protect you if you were properly positioned in the seat. I'm honestly not sure how valid the argument is that you can lose control of the wheel much more easily without a seatbelt, I've heard of cases where the seatbelt would not release and so someone couldn't get out (my mother witnessed one, but they may well have been cutting through the door, too--she's not very mechanically savvy), and I wish they would stop using pictures of women with scarred faces because I would prefer a scarred face over being trapped in a burning car . . . but I honestly don't know how the risks stack up, I'm just very glad cars are safer now. Bikes, I know even less, but I suspect you do need a helmet. Bicycles, on the other hand . . . that strikes me as overkill. And forbidding people to go in the water when there is no lifeguard--I guess I just don't believe any swell can be so dangerous that paddling is going to be lethal.
