Frankly, I want to know who these three knuckle-dragging food fascists think they are.

FEBRUARY 1--Mississippi legislators this week introduced a bill that would make it illegal for state-licensed restaurants to serve obese patrons. Bill No. 282, a copy of which you'll find below, is the brainchild of three members of the state's House of Representatives, Republicans W. T. Mayhall, Jr. and John Read, and Democrat Bobby Shows. The bill, which is likely dead on arrival, proposes that the state's Department of Health establish weight criteria after consultation with Mississippi's Council on Obesity. It does not detail what penalties an eatery would face if its grub was served to someone with an excessive body mass index.

I guess that Mayhall, Read, and Shows don’t believe that Mississippi has any real problems in need of legislative action, and are therefore looking to intrude into areas where the state has no business. As such, it is time for them to submit their resignations, or for the voters to remove their sorry carcasses from office.
