"Will a fat lady sue Sara Lee for having a chest-clutching heart attack directly related to her 'addiction'?"

Paul,
I've got a better one for you. If I were McDonalds Corp., I would be shaking in my boots. I don't think there is anyone who can say McDonalds doesn't target kids (toddlers no less) to get hooked on fatty foods. I don't think anyone can argue that 1 out of 2 adult Americans are obese. I know the day is coming (after lawyers make billions from gun manufacturers) when MacDonald's is going to face millions of lawsuits for being fat pushers creating all kind of heart problems(I believe to much weight, fat, cholesterol is twice the killer cigarettes are) in adults. Just think, the french fries don't even come with a warning.

When will it all end? I'm afraid I don't know but it scares the heck out of me. If it just keeps spiraling out of control, maybe it will end when ALL individual's freedom of choice, and personal responsibility will end. It's a pretty sad situation developing in our great nation. Which ironically, was founded on the belief that personal freedom and responsibility was of utmost importance.
