Did it ever occur to these Rino's that you can order food from the internet for delivery?
Walking to a restaurant is often the only exercise some of these people get
Now I don’t care who you are....that’s funny.
Was this introduced as a form of sarcasm, or was the sponsor serious???
Damn libs. Want to control all aspects of people’s lives.
The United States Constitution was written to be an instrument which limited the power of government.
Pass the Charmin.
And this is why I will no longer give the GOP a blank check in the voting booth. It is appalling that these types of bills are often pushed by republicans. No more political relativism.

This sounds like something that could only come from the mind of Mike Huckabee, he is just smart enough not to just hang it all out there at once like that.
So basically, they are proposing that patrons step on scales and then figure their BMI before they can enter an eating establishment? Either that or the government figured BMI would have to be on their ID (driver’s license).... Either option is insane.
Mississippi attempts at fat laws will be about as effect as its blue laws.
PHONEY republicans!
Has anyone considered the possibility that these gentlemen were being purposefully ironic?
Of COURSE such a ridiculous Bill will not get passed, as should NOT such ridiculous laws as anti-smoking bills, seat belt laws, helmet laws, gun storage laws, etc. They ALL interfere with individual liberty.
It’s only a matter of whose ox is getting gored (or pig, in this case).
Isn’t it at least POSSIBLE that they are trying to make a point about government run amok?
Makes sense to me. Bars can't serve an intoxicated patron so why should a restaurant serve someone that's obviously stuffed ;-)
My eyes are getting worse... I thought it said, "banning farts".
I want my buffet.
No eating, no drinking, no freedom in Mississippi. Yet you can gamble!

I can easily envision a day where laws like this are the norm with the overweight being treated with the same contempt as smokers are today. Imagine the embarrassment if you went to restaurant with a group of friends and being weighed before you can order, then being told you were a couple pounds over your government mandated target weight therefore you could only order the salad and water. Then you realize that you don't have time for dinner at all because you haven't completed you mandatory 5 hours of exercise for the week so you have to go the government sponsored gym to clock in for your remaining hour to prevent being slapped with the unhealthy lifestyle tax.
Yeah, no surprise - it’s Mississippi - quite a few liberals (including those who introduced this bill). Those types will nanny state us to death.
