Bill would make it illegal to feed the obese
Three legislators want to make it illegal for restaurants to serve obese customers in Mississippi.

House Bill No. 282, which was introduced this month, says: 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 after consultation with the Mississippi Council on Obesity Prevention and Management established under Section 41-101-1 or its successor. 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.

The proposal would allow health inspectors to yank the permit from any restaurant that "repeatedly" feeds extremely overweight customers.

The bill, written by GOP Rep. W. T. Mayhall Jr., was referred to the Judiciary and Public Health committees, but The Jackson Free Press doesn’t expect it to garner much support in the statehouse.

About two-third of Mississippians are considered overweight or obese, according to a recent analysis of federal health data.

Nutrition counselors urge that families should involve their children injthe kitchen by having them set the table o wahing the fruits and/or vegetables. t_r_a_n_s_i-t_i_o_n __n_e_e_d_e_d. "It is the family piece that can have the most impact on obesity prevention."

Trying to figure if I am doing this write. The basics is does knowledge about prevention on obesity truly have effect on someone being obese?
1.The dependent variable for this evaluation is Obesity
2.The dependent variable can be though of as a continuous variable by saying, “Obesity can be measured by being overweight by at least 40 pounds.
3.The dependent variable can be thought of as a categorical variable saying, “Whether or not the person is obese.”
4.The most important independent variable for my evaluation is knowledge about prevention of obesity.
5.The independent variable can be thought of a categorical variable by saying, “Whether or not a person taken 4 or more seminars about prevention of obesity.
6.The other independent control variables are age (adults 18+) and geographic location (Tennessee).
7.When controlling for age and geographic location, what effect does the knowledge about prevention of obesity have on he/she being obese?
here are two hypothesis: 8.When controlling for age and geographic location, people who has taken at 4 or more seminars on prevention obesity are more likely to be obese than a person who has taken less than 4 seminars on prevention of obesity.
9.When controlling for age and geographic location, when a person who goes to 4 or more seminars on obesity prevention has a lower BMI than a person who goes to less than 4 seminars on obesity prevention.
does it look right though what i got?

I think it would also double as an obesity prevention tactic

When controlling for age and geographic location, when a person who goes to 4 or more seminars on obesity prevention has a lower BMI than a person who goes to less than 4 seminars on obesity prevention.
