As the US government gradually moves closer to a Euthanasia program for
the nonproductive, the State of Mississippi is considering legislation to
deny food service to the obese, disregarding the cause of the disease,
other health factors, or the effects of starvation. See below.

A bill recently introduced in Mississippi's state legislature would bar
restaurants from serving people determined to be obese.

House Bill 282 aims to require dining establishments with seating capacity
of five or more to follow guidelines set by the state's health department
to determine a prospective customer's obesity, turning away those
considered too fat to serve.

A copy of the bill follows in two images below [converted to text]
