Do they realize that Obesity is a MEDICAL CONDITION? Methadone is an additive drug, therefore becomes a medical problem, and they hand this crap out to people who need to stop! Yes, Meth clinics, where you can go and get your fix!!!! You have to allow food to obese patients, otherwise it's considered STARVATION!!!!!! I stopped by the Mississippi OH board and NOT A PEEP from anyone???? Would you not stop and stand up and fight for your rights??????? ~Dawn

1) It's not a law; 2) Comparing doomed proposed legislation to Nazi genocide is a bit off the mark: 3) Please learn a little bit about heroin addiction, its treatment and the drug methadone before you make statements about matters you don't understand.

Well said, thank you.

If you ban restaurants from serving obese customers in a state that has so many, then the restaurants would suffer, thus negatively impacting the economy of that state.

This just goes to show how ignorant some of our elected officials really are.

I like your signature line! But it would create another McJob for the person at the door weighing people! And where would a pregnant woman go for a meal????????????  I guess she doesn't need to eat either. Hey, I guess they wouldn't serve Oprah either.  I'd like to see that!

Someone on another message board that I visit actually said they support this and they don't feel that this is any different (or worse) than banning smoking in public, in the workplace, or in cars with children.  Seriously??  I've never heard of anyone dying from second-hand EATING, have you?  

This has been making news for the last few days and those who have proposed this should be hung up by the toenails for a few days. Exactly who is going to judge and jury on what constitutes extremely overweight?  And will they know for sure what's causing an individual's obesity?   Sounds like extreme discrimination and something that would quickly become fodder for law suits.  Two thumbs down for me!

I knew when they got all they could out of the smokers they would start on something else. We are becoming a communist country with the government telling us what & where we can eat and smoke. I'm telling you people it's coming wait and see. We never thought they would outlaw the smoking in all public places but they did..........what's next???? I don't like smoking either but I don't like government telling me where and what I can do.
