WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit brought by a doctor who accused KFC of not telling customers that it used trans fats to fry its chicken.
In an occasionally sarcastic opinion, U.S. District Judge James Robertson said Dr. Arthur Hoyte could not show that he was harmed by KFC's use of the artery-clogging fats.
That was enough to doom the lawsuit, but Robertson also noted other flaws in the case.
"While it might be appropriate for this court to find, as a matter of law, that the consumption of fat including trans fat is indeed within the reasonable expectations of the consumers of fried chicken and french fries prepared in fast food kitchens, it is not necessary for me to reach that question," Robertson wrote.

I that case, we could speculate that the judge's 19-year-old intern really really likes KFC, ha!
He did the right thing.
Oldie but a goodie.
I wish KFC would have lost this case!!! Then they can go back to frying with lard. UHMMM, those where the days!
What a stupid lawsuit. If people eat FRIED chicken, what do they think it’s FRIED in? Pixie dust?
“He did the right thing.”
Yep. A refreshing change of pace...
i don’t understant the liberals are like people should have the choice to kill unborn babies, but we can’t eat fried chicken? wtf? stupid liberals.
According to liberals, you can’t own a gun, but you can push a ice pick into the brain pan of an unwanted child about to be born into this world.
WOW! That sure clarifies the connection between fried chicken and abortion.
