Gakked from a chubby chicks group:

Please tell me that the level of stupidity in Mississippi hasn't reached this. Have they lost their minds? There are so many better ways to do that. Like...I don't know...encouragement or incentive....
But blatant, outright embarassment??? WTF is that about? They'll cut down on the obesity problem alright. They'll have a higher suicide rate, psychological treatment rate, anorexic rate and hospitalization/depression rate though. Lawmakers in every part of this country have some severe issues so I can't pick on them for being from Ms. I can say this, if they don't bother to try and weigh the possible psychological side effects of a decision like this, the state of MS is going to be even more backwards and fucked up than it already is.
If Louisiana decided to attempt something like this, we'd wheelbarrow our fat-assed selves up to Baton Rouge and sit on the front steps like giant beached whales. Sweating, panting, smelly fat people taking up room so that the perfect lawmakers (because you know they are in the south) couldn't get into the capitol.
I'm sorry, do I seem a little annoyed by this?
Fuckin Retards.

Date: 2008-02-09 10:42 pm (UTC)My ex brother-n-law stood in at 5'10" and weighed all of 150lbs. What he ate, though, would clog even the most sturdy of arteries- Fat. All fats. No vegetables. And all sugar. My sister once lifted her bed skirt to show me his stash under the bed. I was speechless! He kept food under the bed so he could reach under there at night and chow whenever the urge hit him. Things like cereal and cookies and candy bars.
Now he was a skinny man- Very, in fact- but ate foods having no caloric benefits whatsoever.
He's always sickly.
He's always run down.
He has dark circles under his eyes.
(And no he's not bulimic. We watched him close *lol*)
Yeah, prejudice rarely makes sense, now does it?
