Mississippi
In 2013, Mississippi's governor signed legislation that effectively bans food bans, or in other words, forbids cities and counties from forcing restaurants to provide nutrition information about their foods and preventing restaurants from selling super-sized soft drinks. The bill also interdicts municipalities from banning toys in fast-food meals. Despite Mississippi having the second highest adult obesity rate in the country and the third highest obesity rate for youth aged 10 to 17, it's hard to tell if the lack of nutritional regulations is to blame.
