“Chewing Fat”<i>


Ah, just when I thought the fast food lawsuit was yesterday’s news. It lurks back into the news. If you don’t know what I am talking about some lawyers are trying to become famous and make money by bringing down a major corporation.
They claim that the McDonalds is responsible for their customers becoming fat. That the heartless people who run the company are at fault for customer’s diet. Although no one has ever put a gun to my head or to anyone’s head that I know of to eat their food the lawyers think they have a case here. Toss common sense out the door for this one and if the lawyers can find a loophole they will.
I guess its time to start making the kids behind the counter like bartenders and cut off anyone that appears to have eaten too much food. If this is not enough they are blaming the good old fashion Biggie Meal concept for Americans eating more at home. That makes no sense. Just because a restaurant ( I use the term loosely here) gives you big portions it means you will eat more when you make your own meals now? Uh……what about all those buffets should they be sued too? I guess those chains are not big enough for the lawyers to cash in on.

If even let this case get a serious chance its simply just rewarding ignorance everyone can tell that eating McDonalds every day or anything everyday for that matter is not good for you. Why don’t these jack-offs try running around the block instead of complaining about a place that sells cheap meals. Why didn’t these people start ordering the salads when they couldn’t see their feet anymore? Its not like they couldn’t have noticed they were gaining weight. What about schools that have ice cream parties as rewards for their kids? Should the teachers have to pay dental bills?

Its just pathetic how Americans never want to blame anyone but themselves. It’s always someone else’s fault. An example should be set and block this nonsense from the courtrooms before our judical system gets any more comical.


Meanwhile the “Shoe Bomber” just got life in prison plus another 100 years or so. This is when I don’t understand why we don’t just oft the criminal. Why don’t lawyers try to get him for the attempted murder of every person on the entire flight? This is why Id like to see death penalty these cases. Instead, we give him a sentence over a century long. That way the people of the country he has so much contempt and hatred for don’t have to pay for a roof over his head and his meals. I honestly hope the guards got some good shots in on him as he struggled to escape leaving the courtroom. However, if they did I bet they all get sued for beating up a convicted terrorist. I just hope his meals are made out of low fat, because I smell another lawsuit and am sure there is a scumbag lawyer hoping to cash in on this one somewhere.
