Fast Food Lawsuit Comes Up Again

This is Why People Hate Lawyers


GD opportunistic, money-grubbing, frivolous crap. Sorry, but this stuff really makes me mad. Lawyers, smelling a fat paycheck, are once again trying to extort money from the fast food industry.

Ok, let's see a show of hands here: who out there does NOT know that too much fast food is bad for you? Anybody? Who out there has a gun held to their head and is forced to eat burgers and fries?

Check out Overlawyered.com and Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse for more about this sort of thing.

Also, write a letter to your congressman or woman and tell them you want lawsuit reform which moves us to a loser-pays system. That way, people will think twice about filing frivolous lawsuits in hopes of making a big payday.

Lawyers plan new fast food assault
Fast food purveyors McDonald's and Burger King are about to be hit -- again -- with a slew of claims that their burgers and fries cause obesity, and some critics say they even feed an addiction.
Litigators want to charge companies in the business of selling burgers with contributing to the rising obesity rate in the United States.
