Food Fascism in Mississippi

Overweight citizens in Mississippi will have to be weighed and measured before

being allowed to order food in restaurants, if legislation introduced in that

state becomes law.

And if they're found to be obese, it would be illegal for the restaurant to

serve them.

That's the bright idea of three Mississippi state legislators, who have

proposed to make it a crime for a restaurant to serve anyone with a Body Mass

Index (BMI) of 30 or more.

The law would apply to virtually every restaurant in Mississippi.

Studies have pegged Mississippi as the most obese state in America. Obviously,

then, the Mississippi government must step in and prevent people from deciding

for themselves what they can and cannot eat.

Declares the bill: "Any food establishment … shall not be allowed to serve

food to any person who is obese, based on criteria prescribed by the State

Department of Health after consultation with the Mississippi Council on Obesity

Prevention and Management."

The bill also directs the State Department of Health to "prepare written

materials that describe and explain the criteria for determining whether a

person is obese and to provide those materials to the food establishments" and

"to direct the Department to monitor the food establishments for compliance."

Liberator Online readers will agree, of course, that this a brilliant and

eminently sensible proposal. However, some citizens may be concerned that this

principle could spread further. After all, if the government can control what

people eat "for their own good," what's next? Why not outlaw smoking in

workplaces and other buildings? Why not hold bars liable if they serve booze to

overly-intoxicated patrons? Why not force people to wear seatbelts and

motorcycle helmets? Why not outlaw gambling, or drugs like marijuana and

cocaine? Why not…

Oh, sorry. The government already does all that.
