I called lead author, Rep. Mayhall, and asked if this was serious legislation or tongue-in-cheek to make a point. He kindly took a moment to answer my question while the legislature was in session. He said that while, regrettably, he doesn’t believe his bill will pass, this is serious. He wrote it, he said, because of the “urgency of the obesity crisis and need for government action.” He hopes it will “call attention to the serious problem of obesity and what it is costing the Medicare system.”

This is an insane idea. Next restaurants will be requiring woman that weigh under a certain to only eat fattening foods, as a "statement against eating disorders". I think this is one persons opinion gone WAY too far.
