Lawmakers in Mississippi — the most obese state in the nation — have overwhelmingly approved what they’re calling the "anti-Bloomberg bill."
It would ban communities from requiring restaurants to post calorie counts on menus or limit portion sizes, as Mayor Bloomberg tried to do with his proposed ban on large sodas. Also forbidden: any local rule banning toys from being distributed with kids’ meals.
The governor is expected to sign it.
Its author, state Sen. Tony Smith, owner of the Stonewall's BBQ chain, which serves dishes like the Lil' Piggy, said government has no business telling people what they cannot eat.
Smith told the Daily News that Bloomberg‘s proposed ban on large sugary sodas in New York helped give impetus to his legislation. He said Bloomberg’s rule – which was written to attack obesity - doesn’t make sense.
If customers “want to supersize, they're going to figure out how to do it, whether that means buying two or whatever," said Smith, whose restaurants only service sodas 20-ounces at a time, a serving size that Bloomberg‘s ban would outlaw.
Smith‘s bill - which says nutritional requirements should only be decided at the state level - sailed through the Mississippi legislature with broad bipartisan support, overwhelming the arguments of a small group of opponents who said that local governments should be allowed to make their own rules.
They include Chip Johnson, the mayor of Hernando, and president of the Mississippi Municipal League.
"We are still one of the most obese states in the nation and I think it's our job to help educate the public," he said. "Sometimes that might take the form of menu labeling."
But even Johnson said Bloomberg's proposed ban on large sodas was a step too far — even for a state where 1 in 3 people are not just overweight but obese.
"As a Mississippian, I am firmly a believer in personal choice," he said.
"Secondhand smoke is a danger to other people," he said. "People drinking a Big Gulp are only a danger to themselves."
Mike Cashion, executive director of the Mississippi Hospitality and Restaurant Association insisted the bill isn't preventing efforts to fight obesity.
"If anything, it's just the opposite. It has brought attention to the issue and it centers the responsibility on the state legislature," he said.
Smith said Mississippians trust the market to respond to demands for healthy food.
"For a lady, if all you can buy are black shoes, well, that doesn't go with every dress you may have," he said. "Hey, if you want to buy baked fish, fine, I love it. But if I want fried fish, that's my right."
Из-за размера соды? 
Знаю, что некрасиво, но не могу удержаться, когда человек раза в три больше меня уминает огромную порцию, которую я могла бы есть несколько дней
это много, я еще часок в спортзале могу провести или пойти летом побегать минут 40
