Taking the Reins

Mississippi should be ashamed of this bill.  I thought it was a joke when I was directed to the site, but I really think it might actually be legitimate.  Some idiotic lawmaker thinks that it should be against the law to serve obese people food in restaurants.  Can you believe that?  And the kicker is that BMI is used to determine obesity, and we all know what a crock of you-know-what that can be!  I am beyond annoyed by this.  One of my favorite triathlon bloggers — an Ironman triathlete — is technically obese and linked to this article.  It’s so absurd I don’t think I have any other comments.
