Where will it all end.... and this while we are trying to fight a war and rebuild an ecomomy!

[MindBender26]

Thank you. Feel free to do with it as you wish.

The last bit about the 'First they came for the...' is a corruption of the original text. The order is 'first they came for the communists', then 'socialists, trade unionists, then Jews' (this is what in fact did happen historically).

Lawsuit claims McDonald's burgers and fries are making kids fat

NEW YORK (AP) --Are Big Macs hazardous to children's health?

Lawyers have filed a class-action lawsuit against McDonald's on behalf of New York children who have suffered health problems, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity.

In federal court in Manhattan on Wednesday, a lawyer alleged that the fast-food chain has created a national epidemic of obese children. Samuel Hirsch argued that the high fat, sugar and cholesterol content of McDonald's food is "a very insipid, toxic kind of thing" when ingested regularly by young kids.

The plaintiffs include a Bronx teen who ate every meal at McDonald's for three years while living in a homeless shelter. Another is a 13-year-old boy from Staten Island who says he ate at McDonald's food three to four times a week and is now 5-foot-4 and 278 pounds.

McDonald's lawyer Brad Lerman insisted the lawsuit was a frivolous attempt to cash in on the Golden Arches, "the kind of lawsuit that shouldn't be in court."

"People don't go to sleep thin and wake up obese," Lerman said. "The understanding and comprehension of what hamburgers and french fries do has been with us for a long, long time."

McDonald's has asked Judge Robert Sweet to dismiss the case, arguing those who filed the claims cannot show their health woes were caused by Big Macs and insisting the company has never misled customers about its food. The judge did not immediately rule on the request.

Well done, MB.

My kids are thin, I think I am going to sue the food industry for not putting enough calories in food.

We need reform immediately and....any loser in one of these pathetic lawsuits should be forced to pay all expenses involved plus penalties.

[Orangedog]

I wonder if we can sue these people and the lawyers who file these suits for raising the prices for the rest of us?

[SpaceBar]

Two words: Tort reform.

Bump. Good essay.

[Blue Screen of Death]

Let me get this straight... you want to send all the laywers to the Misquito Coast where they all die in 118 minutes? Great idea.

[MindBender26]

Will fix, Thanx.

Interesting thought. Mayhaps I should check with a couple of attorneys I know...

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out--

because I was not a communist;

Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out--

because I was not a socialist;

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out--

because I was not a trade unionist;

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--

because I was not a Jew;

Then they came for me--

and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Free money has an old and powerful appeal. Something-for-nothing has always appealed to the masses.
