Change it from "serving them food" to "selling them spandex" and I'm onboard.

In Oregon, I suspect that depending on the level of and cause of obesity, it might discriminate on the basis of disability. Or at least, there would be a plaintiff's lawyer out there drumming up clients on that one.

Don't you wonder what percentage of the Mississippi population would be subject to the prohibition?

Wow, I might expect it out of somewhere like California or New York, but now Mississippi's trying to play nanny? Like my position on so many other things, I think it should be a persons choice if her or she wishes to remain overweight and it should be he or she who suffers the consequences. While many of the overweight people I know don't enjoy being overweight, they do enjoy the lifestyle it allows them to live.

The state should take over the reproduction of human beings so that future human beings can be biologically engineered to only have attributes acceptable to state designs (to go along with land use planning and smart growth).

Eventually the state will recognize it is actually in its best interest to promote such things as obesity and smoking so as to speed the turnover of the current stock of undesirable human beings. Recent medical studies show folks that smoke and/or are obese don't tend to hang around as long, and on a life cycle basis their health costs are actually lower because they don't have an opportunity to come down with more complicated ailments.

Larry, I'm in agreement, where do we sign the petition?
