Mississippi rules

Que a obesidade é um grande problema nos States, já sabíamos.

Mas o Mississippi resolveu atacar o problema de um modo verdadeiramente inovador: proibindo os restaurantes de atenderem... clientes obesos!

Bill 282 reads:

"Any food establishment to which this section applies shall not be allowed to serve food to any person who is obese, based on criteria prescribed by the State Department of Health..."

The bill goes onto say:

"The State Department of Health shall prepare written materials that describe and explain the criteria for determining whether a person is obese, and shall provide those materials to all food establishments to which this section applies. A food establishment shall be entitled to rely on the criteria for obesity in those written materials when determining whether or not it is allowed to serve food to any person."

Nada de programas educacionais e/ou de promoção da saúde para combater a obesidade. Proibe-se a malta de comer e já está!
