Fat Folks In Mississippi under the gun

Have y'all heard about the new law they're trying to pass in Mississippi where restaurants can refuse service to anyone they think is obese?

They say they're doing it because people in Mississippi have the highest obesity rate in the country?

Doesn't this violate the Constitution and count as a form of discrimination?

I heard that Buffets are charging Fat obese people double. They claimed that some of them would eat up all the crab legs and other expensive seafood. I think a lot of people see "all you can eat" as a time to be greedy and eat til they get the Itus and cant walk.

I doubt it passes. It is discriminatory.
