Still, stupidity of epic proportions....

I saw the attorney address this on TV. My impression was that there was no real intent in this law suit to get compensation for people who are too dumb to know that Big Macs are bad for you.

There's no reason they couldn't print nutrition information on them for people like me who aren't stupid enough to eat that stuff all the time but who would like to know just how much damage we've done when we do succumb. Eating that stuff is not a problem if you do it in the context of a healthy diet, but you need information to know how much and how often you can get away with eating it.
