I only post these things because they are so ridiculous. Ailing Man Sues Fast-Food Firms.

A New York City lawyer has filed suit against the four big fast-food corporations, saying their fatty foods are responsible for his client’s obesity and related health problems.

Samuel Hirsch filed his lawsuit Wednesday at a New York state court in the Bronx, alleging that McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s and KFC Corporation are irresponsible and deceptive in the posting of their nutritional information, that they need to offer healthier options on their menus, and that they create a de facto addiction in their consumers, particularly the poor and children.

"You don't need nicotine or an illegal drug to create an addiction, you're creating a craving," Hirsch said. "I think we'll find that the fast-food industry has not been totally up front with the consumers."

One can only imagine the variety of suits over obesity. We should sue Hersheys for making good chocolate, or better yet Godiva! Why not sue Mrs. Fields - her cookies are irresistible to me? We could even sue the Wonder bread company. Maybe Shakespeare was right!
