Mississippi Law

I was watching on the news that in Mississippi a law was in consideration that obese people would not be allowed in restaurants. I was disgusted; it was so inconsiderate and disgusting. Sometimes, “obese” people can’t help their size, because they could have a health issue. I did get to actually watch the news report on this so I don’t know the reasoning for the law. So I am assuming that it is for two main reasons. One, the state has a theory that this will help them loose weight; or two, there has been complaints from one minded snobs that they don’t want to look at “obese” people while they eat. This is at the point where people just need to accept people for who they are. I am talking about all aspects of accepting like accepting their skin color, their personality, and their size. People are people, and if god loves everyone then we should love everyone too. I know that gluteny is a sin, but god is incharge of forgiving them not us. Once my dad told me that he was eating at a buffet for lunch, and at the table beside him there was a very large man with five or six “happy plates” beside him. According to the story after his seventh, the man reclined back in the booth, rested for five minutes and then got two more plates. Maybe that’s some other aspect that restaurants don’t want “obese people” eating their food. I don’t understand how they will enforce this law, are they going to have a scale and weigh everyone that comes to eat?
