I am amazed at the dumb comments made on this topic. I wonder if half of you even read the article???

1. Did any of you take note of the person (Read) and ask yourself is he counted in this bill? How does one define obesity so that one cannot eat at a restaurant.

2. The second-hand smoke is clearly an issue as the smoke keeps many from being able to enjoy the luxuries that smokers have been able to enjoy for decades...

3. The man said it was not going to get any credence nor will the law be voted on.

4. Why did he bring this public? Duh... Don''t you know that any publicity is good publicity as long as people get to know your name... Read that is...
Let''s see if he runs for some big campaign within the near future as he gets his name associated with a bill (albeit dumbed down to extinction)...

Wow! It is true....the GOP really has become the big government nanny that they have always accused the Democrats of being. This is one Southerner who will admit that I was bamboozeled by the GOP, but no more. I will hold my nose and vote for the Democrats (like my grandparents and great-grandparents use to do), because I''ve come to see the other choice is actually worse.

If your child is not under control, then don''''''''t take him out in public. Hire a babysitter. This is your child, not mine, and I don''''''''t want to listen to him/her while I am paying for a $20 entree.

This is typical of American psyche, we will eat more of an inferior product to fill the belly now. Just listen to the comments of the uneducated hick in a fine dinning restaurant, "where''s the food?" food is directly related to quality of life. I am sometimes (lately moor often than not) ashamed to be an American.

Let me remind that asre that is pushing that trash. I live with a person who is overweight. This is why his medications,diabetes.He has to give himself shots to control his diabetes..Some do over eat.. Some have health issues that for give me become fat. I was 100 lbs for years..then my periods stopped at 37. I went to 140. Same wt as Mum..I don''t over eat. I am 53, When I was 100 lbs. people would asked don''t ye eat..sure I did. When I had my period I could not gain. Now the tables are turned. *we want people to think* was said in the article..We will think all right it is called boycott ye. I am 53.
