Obesity Is A Choice

"NEW YORK - For a second time this year, a federal judge threw out a class-action lawsuit Thursday that blamed McDonald's for making people fat."

When I read this, all I can think of is how stupid people are for even coming up with this lawsuit--and for the second time! The issue is not that "McDonald's food causes health problems in children" or McDonald's violation of "consumer protection laws and engaged in deceptive advertising," it's about the lack of common sense that people have that they have to ask a court to help protect them from unhealthy fast-food. Just because there are packs of cigarettes in stores doesn't mean you have to buy them.

"In his earlier ruling, Sweet [the ruling judge] said consumers cannot blame McDonald's if they choose to eat there. 'If a person knows or should know that eating copious orders of supersized McDonald's products is unhealthy and may result in weight gain ... it is not the place of the law to protect them from their own excesses,' Sweet wrote at the time."

Good ruling! If you don't want to get fat, just don't eat there! If you don't eat there, you will never have to complain about unhealthy fast-food. If you don't complain about unhealthy fast-food, taxpayers would never have to pay for frivilous lawsuits to help other stupid consumers.

Practice common sense, people!
