your joking...right?

[Springman]

Bump for later.

"I got addicted to it," he said....Food! We're talking FOOD here! FOOD!

We should ALL file a class action lawsuit against C. Everett Koop, David Kessler and Bill Klinton (the 20th Century KKK) for manufacturing a definition of "addiction," in order to include smoking, that also includes every other thing people like to do. I'M ADDICTED TO THE COMPUTER! GET ME BILL GATES' LAWYER! (I'll settle...)

[GSWarrior]

If this guy is truly addicted to food he should check out this group.

[AZLiberty]

I think anyone who has ever eaten fast food will have to recuse him/herself from this case.

Could be a problem.

"Eat yer fries while you still can, folks..."

I spit out my Skoal Wintergreen Longcut long enuff to wolf down some cancer sticks from MickeyD's!! Anybody up fer a post-dinner stoagie?!

FReegards...MUD

The 20th Century KKK. I LIKE that!

And for sure. What about my "addiction" to my computer? Now THIS is an ADDICTION! heh!

[Mudboy Slim]

Bizarre, yet predictable...MUD

[Madame Dufarge]

I knew that, I knew that...

I am very overweight myself, and this lawsuit infuriates me.
I get annoyed with all kinds of self-proclaimed victims, but guys like this are the worst. As irritating as NOW,GLAAD, etc. can be, at least they don't make ME look like an irresponsible crybaby.

[Brett66]

Lawyers need to be outlawed.

[MeekOneGOP]

LOL!, sorta. This kind of LawyerNazi stuff is one of the reasons that Budweiser
took out the drink sensibly ad campaign, I bet. If they get sued, that's part of
their defense, and believe me, the alcohol industry is in the Lawyers sights.

[goodieD]

This idiot will win...and so it begins...the demonization of the fast food industry...just like tobacco... so what's next? Your favorite things... litigated into higher prices..coming soon.

"I trace it all back to the high fat, grease and salt, all back to McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King – there was no fast food I didn't eat, and I ate it more often than not because I was single, it was quick and I’m not a very good cook," Barber said in an interview with Foxnews.com. "It was a necessity, and I think it was killing me, my doctor said it was killing me, and I don't want to die."

Learn to cook, you lazy b@$t@rd! You couldn't bring your lunch with you to work? You chose to eat that food, so shut the hell up!

Frances Winn, a 57-year-old retired nurse, said her habit of eating at fast-food restaurants at least twice a week since 1975, caused her to go from a size 6 to a size 18, and inflicted her with hypertension, high cholesterol and a hyperthyroid problem.

Break the habbit! Too damn bad. Did someone hold a gun to your head and force you to go to fast food restaurants? Why didn't you bring your lunch with you to work? I don't think that I've ever seen a hospital without a refrigerator...

Israel Bradley, 59, said his ritual of eating a pound of french fries a week gave him high blood pressure, diabetes, made him obese and forces him to walk with a cane. In 1993, he passed out and had to be rushed to the emergency room because of the medical problems caused by his diet. "I got addicted to it," he said.

Yeah, right! Should anyone be suprised that someone who eats like that nearly died? It was his choice! Damn, this gets my blood boiling!

Winn and Bradley will both file New York state suits soon, Hirsch said.

Of course... I say that any lawyer that files something like this deserves to be hunted down and .... Or at least, I hope that the judge will begin an investigation against the lawyer and saction the hell out of him!

What a load. Let's say for a minute that deceptive advertising practices are true and the ads cause people to crave fast food and indulge in those cravings. We would also have to concede that the opposite would be equally as true, and that there would be an epidemic of weight-loss because people couldn't resist Slim-Fast because the ads made one crave Slim-Fast. It's rich, thick, and sweet, and looks pretty darn good on TV.

No, people naturally like fat because it makes food taste good, and goes back to our more primitive days when we had to eat more fat in cold weather to provide insulation and nutrition when food was scared.

[MeekOneGOP]

LOL! See #53 also.............

[ward_of_the_state]

Lawyers are destroying the country. We need tort reform NOW.

I'm thinking a nice Dark Chocolate or White Chocolate with Raspberry filling.

[subterfuge]

FOOD POLICE, FOOD POLICE!!

We're all addicted to food aren't we?

And on a side note, I wonder if the guy wears a Moo-Moo?
