Mississippi Takes Lead in Nanny State Oppression

Mississippi may be moving toward a new law that will mean that overweight restaurant customers cannot eat.

"Earlier this week, three Mississippi House members — Republicans W.T. Mayhall Jr. and John Read and Democrat Bobby Shows — proposed H.B. 282, which would allow health inspectors to pull permits from any restaurant that “repeatedly” feeds extremely overweight patrons. The definition of obesity would be determined by the state’s health department."
