We kid you not. The controversial measure (state House Bill 282) would prohibit eateries from serving food to "any person who is obese based on criteria prescribed by the state health department." The department would monitor compliance and have the power to revoke violators' permits. (Pity the poor waiter with the thankless task of denying corpulent customers service, leaving them with the humiliating dilemma of either twiddling their thumbs as their less hefty chums chow down or slinking (storming?) out and slogging to a supermarket or over the state line for sustenance.)
Is this a step for stopping the weight problem in the US or is this just the governments way of controlling the people?

If you eat a some food you will get fat. If anyone eats the school's food you will be fat. I was eating hambager at a restraunt and i was fat.
I think the gov't shouldn't have any say in who eats where. I think it would cause nothing but embarrasement. Who has the right to judge others...no one does.
I do not think the government should have a say in this matter. It is a personal choice on how you live. It is no different than telling an adult they cannot smoke or drink alcohol. It is a choice that the government should not be making.
