What might be an interesting investigation on this topic would be to ask which of those three bill sponsors smoke.
A member of the restaurant association in MS told me that this was spiteful attempt to get back at the recent smoking bans in Mississippi cities. IOW, 'if I can't smoke in certain places, then fat people can't eat in restaurants.'
Also of note:
Many legislators are supporting a $1.00 tax increase per pack on cigarette sales. There is actually a billboard downtown on the approach to the MS state capitol that show these choices:
Greedy tobacco companies or health care for children
No kidding.
Someone should ask Mayhall if there will be someone at every restaurant with a BMI scale that you must step on before you order a slice of pecan pie a la mode.
