Bill to stop restaurants from serving obese?

I just read about this bill the other day from a news article that was posted on the Drudge Report and was a bit shocked by what I read. Mississippi legislature introduced a bill that would allow the health department to revoke a restaurant's license if they were found to serve to obese people! http://www.clevelandleader.com/node/4524. Sounds pretty crazy, right? Yes, Mississippi has one of the highest state obesity rates with over a third of adults classified as obese BUT this apparently is not the right strategy for helping people lose weight!
