From article: "The suit charges that Burger King is in violation of the District of Columbia's Consumer Protection Procedures Act by selling foods laden with trans fat and by failing to let consumers know -- an omission that misleads the public assuming the items are safe."

Why wouldn't they be "safe"? Is anybody really so "mislead" as to assume traditional fast food fare as a primary source of nutrition is safe?

As for me, eating out is a rare treat. Be it fast food or a snooty, ambience-laden eatery, I DO insist it be a treat, or I might as well stay home.

I'd wager that it is a helluva lot safer than the food at some of D.C.'s public institutions.
