McDonald's Plaintiff Not Your Average McFatso

forbes ^ | Dan Ackman,

[wildwood]

And now I am off to watch the juveniles that host the weekend addition of Fox and Friends, they are terrible.

interesting experiences you have had...sounds like your life has changed significantly and for the better. too bad more people don't discover this.

you know, when i first starting watching fox and friends weekend, i couldn't get where they were coming from...they seemed silly to me. but the last few years, i think after 9/11, i found myself taking great comfort in their joviality and conviviality. now i watch fox and friends every morning before i go to work. their morning rundown is so thorough in such a short time (6-6:30) that i feel well versed on the day's events.

i really look forward to weekends, too, probably because the world seems so angry and contemptuous these days, of goodness and humor and Americans and fighting for the right cause.

when i watch f & f weekend, they almost seem like family members i never had (not to sound like i am living in a fahrenheit 451 situation...). in short, i have grown to value their cheery regards to start my day. it pretty much sickens me to see cnn anchors trying to ape them, because cnn anchors suffer from overweening hubris, to say the least.

f & f seem more like all of us...just regular folks, intelligent and educated and really enjoying each others' company.

oh,well, that's all. talked your ear off.

You could do worse - you could watch Ireland's RTE.

What is in the low-card breakfast bowl, on the top?

I like the looks of the low-carb hamburger. I will have to try it out.

Do people not get it that you cannot eat fast food everyday and be healthy or even feel good? If I were to eat that stuff on a regular basis I would feel awful.

Glad to see someone "gets it"! It is unbelievable to me how in this day and age it always has to be the other guys fault. We are quickly losing what made America the most powerful nation since the days of the Romans. We no longer are teaching independent intelligence. Liberals and progressives nowadays think being a lawyer is the only honorable profession in existence. They have completely lost touch with reality. they are inventing ways to make money off the fears of pathetic individuals that haven't had an original thought since they were 5.

 

We need to set a quota for lawyers. In other words all the colleges combined can only graduate 100 a year until the population catches up. Maybe if we didn't have so many of them we could cut down on these idiotic lawsuits. I mean, why else are we seeing these? It has to be because they don't have anything else to do. Now that would be tort reform. Make a few thousand of these guys flip burgers for a living and they just might realize what work really is. The closest they get to manual labor is walking up the steps to the courthouse and opening the door for their rich clients.

You know something that helped, me? I was big into cheese (as there is a lack of ample Moose in SoFlo.) I found a soy-based product called "Veggie-Shreds" I can get at Publix or Albertson's here. I'll wrap some chicken or steak strips with it and some onions and tomatoes. Awesome meal and it's mostly protein except for the tortilla, but I can eat that as long as I don't eat other major carbs.

I also keep a stair master in front of the TV. I've had bad allergies this year with chronic bronchitis, but with the diet, I've dropped weight where I thought I'd gain (could be the bronchitis, too.) At any rate, it's enabled me to maintain myself consistenly for 3 years (2.5 beyond where the allergies got bad.)

But really, it depends on the individuals physical makeup. Just as some people have a high metabolism and don't require the same constraints that I do, I in turn respond better to higher protein diets and weight drops off with minimal effort.

Still, there are days when you wonder is Chocolate is a blessing or a punishment when you get on the scale.

At any rate, it's become a lifestyle choice now. All the best to you in your efforts...

[SirLurkedalot]

The same to you Sir, see you around!

[yer gonna put yer eye out]

Exactly...
What part of, "nobody is FORCING you to buy these hamburgers", don't they understand??????

[thombo]

Good idea Ikka."the lawyer who took the case shoud be targeted for disbarment and discipline."How about court costs as well?

[AmericanChef]

Gee, anybody remember McLean? Nobody ate it, and McDonalds is there to make money from the masses, and not to pacify a minority of advocates. I stopped eating at McDonalds when they switched to the "new" fat - the fries are like cardboard now, totally inedible.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

But, but...if I don't have some fat in my diet, my eyes lose their sparkle and my silky coat loses it's brilliant sheen!

I find a handful of M&Ms a day helps. :)

[thombo]

Hope u don't mind me jumping in here.Sorry to hear about your loss.Working 6 dys/wk on your farm is the best medecine imo.People trying to lose weight often forget(or don't know)that physical activity is important not only for losing weight,but emotional health as well.BTW a big mac or qtr lb'er w/out the fixins? That's like a big plump glazed jelly donut w/out the jelly.When i'm in diet mode i have to avoid McD's,BKing,etc altogether:)

[Houmatt]

The lawyer for McD's should point out all of the obvious conflicts of interest in bringing the suit, and ask the judge to throw it out.

If it is the same attorney who should have gotten Stella Liebeck on the stand and got her to admit she expected the coffee she purchased to be served hot and she was not under any kind of duress to place that coffee between her legs and remove the lid, and yet did not, forget it. He could not find his own backside with both hands in broad daylight.

I find Suzanne Somers diet much easier than Atkins.

You can eat all you want as long as you don't mix carbs with protein or fat.

[SirLurkedalot]

LOL My co-worker looked over my shoulder and said "What's the Suzanne Somers diet? 2 crack rocks and 15 hrs with the Thighmaster?"

[StockAyatollah]

Countersuit should be filed, and the lawyer who took the case directly targeted for discipline and possible disbarment.

I wish businesses would go on the offensive and countersue these imbeciles and their scumbag lawyers filing frivolus lawsuits. They are all just parasites that need to dealt with as such. McD's would probably be worried about the negative publicity, but I bet the vast majority of people would actually love it if they counter-attacked. I have often thought that if I ever got wealthy, I would go to law school, become a lawyer and do pro bono work doing just that kind of thing.

[fanfan]

LOL. Did you correct him/her?

[Hildy]

You bet this is what it's about. Personal coaches (life coaches) is one of the fastest growing industries, believe it or not.

"Trial lawyers who sue like this should be ashamed of themselves, but they aren't."

If I were a trial lawyer, I would sue you for writing such a thing about me!
