I know it’s post Super Bowl - and what a game it was! But if you are like most of us, you might have indulged a little more than usual last night. After all, who can resist nachos during a nail biter football game?

Not to rain on the parade (and yes we are expecting a big one tomorrow when the Giants return home), but did you hear about what Mississippi has planned for residents who indulge all the time? Their intent is honorable. Mississippi has a very high rate of cardiovascular disease. But putting restaurants in charge of what we choose to eat?

A new bill introduced in Mississippi - HB 282 - would do just that. It makes it ILLEGAL to serve fat folks. Any restaurant that serves a person with what is considered a high “BMI” index, will lose their health department license. When I reported on this story this weekend, I was surprised frankly to learn that 30% of American adults are obese. This is a frightening number. We can all do more to whittle our waistlines but putting the kid behind the counter in charge? It’s okay for me to call them kids - I was a burger king girl way back when!

“Weigh in” here. Is this an outrage or on the money?
