Mississippi wants to ban fat people from restaurants

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

A bill was introduced in Mississippi to ban obese people from restaurants.  I can’t imagine this would pass.  It seems too much like discrimination to me.  Some people are overweight due to health problems they can’t control and it just seems unfair to not let them enjoy dining out.  I don’t feel the state has the right to tell people where they can eat or tell the establishment that they can’t serve those people and lose the money.
