Suit Filed Against Fast Food Companies

I was just listening to The View and they were interviewing a man and his attorney. The man is bringing suit against McDonalds, Wendy's, Burger King, and Kentucky Fried Chicken. He claims eating fast food caused his obesity and two heart attacks. He claims they witheld information about the nutritional content of their food. He also claims he is addicted to fat.

I think this is just about the biggest "crock" I've ever heard, what do you think about this?

In the Grapevine, I've got a thread called "Idiot Stories" that's got an article about this guy in it.

This story warranted posting twice IMHO. When are we going to take responsibility for ourselves and our own choices that we make.

However, I also think that the governments should regulate unhealthy things and fast food is one such thing. Even more important we should know about the food content of what we eat. For example the type of fats in our foods and whether they are healthy or not and the amounts that are recommended. They have started this on cereal boxes etc and we can now choose something that does not have sugar as the first ingredient. They need to do this more with fats.

Trans fatty acids are highly implicated in arterial disease and there is no labelling for these on any packaging. They are the worst AND found in many products.

Fruits and veggies are making a come back but more information needs to get out AND fast food places MUST give us healthy choices. Having said that I see McDonald's in Canada is doing that very thing. Just keep away from the french fries.

I guess there is no longer a concept of personal responsibility!

Hmmmmmm, maybe I should sue. . . . . . :furious2:

I could sue RCA and SONY for making all those TV sets, and the networks. . . NBC, ABC, and especially CBS for putting all those shows on TV that compel me to watch them. That Survivor show has me hooked!! I'm addicted!! My eyesight is going to hell because I stare at the durn TV all day, and my butt is getting sore from sitting on the couch, Man, These people at the networks are EVIL!

I could sue all the various clock and watch makers in the world because if I want to know what time it is, I'm almost FORCED to use one of their products!! They almost MAKE me look at one of their products many, many times each day!! I think I've developed carpel tunnel syndrome in my wrist from looking at my watch so much!! Damn those people at Timex!

Hey, I think I'm getting the hang of this no personal responsibility thingy! . . . . . .

. . . .Anybody got Johnny Coccaran's phone number? :evilgrin:
