Mississippi has passed a Bill which will prohibit any city, town or county in the state from passing laws which restrict what people may eat or drink.

Branded the "anti-Bloomberg" Bill, after New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg unveiled proposals to ban the sale of large fizzy drinks in an attempt to address America's growing obesity problem, the law would also prohibit local officials from forcing restaurants to label menus with calorie contents.

One politician who voted for the bill, Gregory Holloway, added: "If you want to go eat 20 Big Macs, you can eat 20 Big Macs... If you want 1,000 sodas, you can still do that.”

If only they would actually take this idea to its logical conclusion and say that you may do ANYTHING to want to with your own body, as long as what you're doing doesn't infringe on the rights of others.
