Obesity Suit Against McDonald's Dismissed

[JerseyBoy]

Hooray!!!!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit against McDonald's Corp. . that alleged the fast food chain was responsible for children's obesity.

U.S. District Judge Robert Sweet threw out the suit in its entirety. The judge held that the plaintiffs did not show that McDonald's products involve a danger unknown to the public.

"This opinion is guided by the principle that legal consequences should not attach to the consumption of hamburgers and other fast food fare unless consumers are unaware of the dangers of eating such food," Sweet said.

The suit was brought on behalf of overweight children who consumed foods at two McDonald's located in the Bronx. One of the plaintiffs is a 14-year-old girl who is 4 foot 10 inches tall and weighs 170 pounds.

Good.

Lazy fat fucks should try eating a salad at home.

And then lay off the crackpipe so they can realize McDonalds ISN'T HEALTHY!

Or just do us all a favor and have a heart attack already.

Suits like this one are the reason that the world laughs at our country.

Not only are we fat, but it's not our own fault that we're fat.

*sigh*

Oh Thank God. I was really worried about the state of our Union after that one.

Then again, we still have the same people in our country, just without a lawsuit. How long until they find another?

*sigh*

We should pay homage with a bow....

What is really shocking about this ruling is the fact that it occured in New York, which has the most liberal court system and has historically denied people having any sense of accountability for their actions.

The damages awarded in Civil lawsuits in NY usually are way higher than in other areas.

LOL that sums it up quite well BBW!

I remember working in the restaurant business and watching a hugely obese person eat enough food for 3 people, order a hot fudge sundae for desert and then demand sweet and lo for their coffee.

Accountability at last!

or try this one on for size, pardon the pun


I used to manage a place that sold a pound of freakin fries, covered and smothered with cheese, bacon bits, sour cream, and ranch dressing.

I was utterly amazed at the lard butts that would insist on a booth, their belly rolls laid upon the table, order THAT and a diet fuckin coke.


I suppose the diet coke made it all better


I had a running bet with the cooks wether or not they'd get dessert, I usually won the bet.

Sorry - couldn't help it. And I've got enough anxieties in my own cloest, Binkley. Don't need anymore. *grin*

Someone who's too fat to bow should automatically have to join a sideshow for my amusement.

The world may laugh, but I bet a good portion of the world is jealous that we are able to bring such frivolous lawsuits in the first place.

A 3000 calorie snack that consisted of 95% fat calories... what's wrong with that?
