-- A lawsuit against Pizza Hut in Seattle for failing to disclose its Veggie Delight Pizza contains beef fat,
-- A lawsuit against McDonald's in New York for contributing to childhood obesity, and
-- A lawsuit by a New York City man who sued McDonald's for contributing to his obesity.
However Lawyers are beginning to target the restaurant industry to attempt to hold it accountable for the nation's drastic obesity epidemic.

Good post.
People need to take responsibility for their own actions.. not put the blame on their taste buds. Fast food is Fast food and unless you're having a plain salad or plain pita at these establishments, don't try to convince yourself that you are eating healthy.

I suppose I can semi-understand the one involving beef fat.. a strict vegan might have been very disgusted by that. but otherwise, yeah...I agree it is rediculous

The whole McDonald's issue is crap. That would be like the equivalent to a drunk driver suing a beer company for making him drunk after he caused an accident on the way home from the bar. When will people start using some damn common sense?!?!?!?!

The sad part, J, is someone has already tried that one, but it was with the bar; or like the family who was trying to sue Smith and Wesson because their gang-member son was killed by another gang member using a stolen handgun...
*sigh*
