Fast Food Fat-Ass Lawsuit

[pcman2002b]

So what do you people think about that jackass suing those 5 different fast-food joints because the food "ruined his life." What an a**-munch. Nobody forced you to eat that heart stopping food. Under your own will you got in your car (probably a frickin' Jetta or Topaz) drove to the restaurant, made the choice of how fast you wanted your heart to explode and then shoveled the crap down your fat, disgusting, and jiggling neck. Well kiss my butt. Your gonna' ruin it for the rest of us who don't eat there five times a week. You'll make the prices go up.

I heard that one of the fast-food companies said, "What difference does it make, if we had refused to serve you the food (in respect of his already declining health) you would have brought against us a lawsuit for racial discrimination." That's beautiful, yeah, cram that down your throat you greedy SOB!

 

[PsychoAndy]

Pretty much the same as you. I mean, it's not like the average Fatty McFatass didn't know that Cheeseburgers and fried chicken and biscuits and gravy and cheeseburgers and fries and *insert food here*+ grease isn't exactly the most healthy combination. They had it coming.

I would be more angry at his lawyer because without him this guy would probably never have thought about suing the fast food companys.

Everyone who doesn't support this lawsuit but supported the tobacco lawsuits raise your hand.

The difference between these is that tobacco creates an addiction which most people find it very hard to step away from. The tobacco companies denied this for many years. Last time i checked, fast food is not adictive to the point of creating withdrawls if you dont eat it for a period of time.

tabacco industry made costs of medicare go up because now the us government has to pay for all the retards who have damaged lungs.

If he wins this lawsuit (which he wont) he will probably use the money to buy more fatty foods.

Since when is it the government's goddamn job to pay for healthcare in the first place?

Since people became so fvcking lazy that they dont want to work to pay for their own health care.

Anyways, I think both are ridiculous lawsuits. I was just trying to get this thread to be more interesting...

tHEY HAVE MADE MANY MANY MANY MORE TIMES WHAT THEY HAVE PAID OUT IN TAXES.
(stupid caps lock...)

You think 20 cigarettes cost $6 to make?

 

[pcman2002b]

Ohh, and another thing, "they had it coming" what the hell does that mean. They are businesses selling products, we as Americans have the choice to decline the purchase of these products. Just like the tobacco industries, I did not agree with those lawsuits, people suing them because they had a hole drilled into their throat just so they could breath. Those people as well new what the hell they were doing when they pulled a cigarette (or anything) and lit it up. Just because it is addictive doesn't mean its the companies fault, let me rephrase that. For years the Surgeon General put on the cigarette ads "This product is addictive" I understand that our country is suffering from a large number of illiterate individuals but that doesn't change anything.

So these companies have a product to sell, if it is bad for you (like the Triple Cheeseburger from Wendys) which most people know it is bad. That is why they post the Nutrition Facts in a lot of these restaurants then you have the choice and the ability to say, NO. I want a salad with low-fat dressing on it. And when I get done I'm going to go walking to lose weight. If nobody (and I mean nobody) wants this fattening food then the industry will get the message and will either change their menu to healthier things or close. But because we live an a society where some people don't care about their bodies and others care and eat there occasionally (not enough to cause health issues) doesn't mean just because one individual over did it on the super sizing doesn't mean he has to ruin it for the rest of us. I've seen skinny people eating in these places and they don't seem to have a problem.

So maybe the stores inticed us to Super Size by making it cheaper, so what. They are in business to make money, life isn't fair but thats the way business works. Other companies live on that same principle, using things like sex appeal to sell products that have absolutely nothing to do with sex in the first place.

Let's see next the pot smokers will go after the drug dealers because it ruined their lives and then people will go after the alcohol producers because their kid died in a car accident and was drunk at the time. As human beings we have the ability to make decisions, our future health may depend on these decisions, what we eat, how we drive, if we take drugs. If we don't make the right decisions its our fault, nobody elses. Because you made the wrong decision doesn't give you the right to put the blame on somebody else. The only one you can blame is yourself, or mayber your parents for not teaching you good decision making habits. But that is as far is it goes. So your fat, life's rough, get over it. Stop eating at those places five times a week, go on a diet, and start exercising. Even if you win this lawsuit all that money and you'll still be fat, and nobody can stand an annoying rich fat guy.

I support the idea of bringing lawsuits against fast food conglomerates but I don't like this lawsuit. I think it needs to be done as either a class action lawsuit or a government suit. I don't think that every fat ass should be able to sue. But larger groups should be able to bring a case concerning the facts that fast food is harmfull to your health, it is advertised as healthy, and other stuff like that. Not to say that I think that they should win, but i'm fine with the lawsuit. And I'm not a person that likes lawsuits very much either.

When has fast food been advertised as 'healthy'?

Screw that, people take no responsibility for their actions.

So I got bored, looking at McDonald's nutritional facts......
If you eat a Big Mac and a Super Size Fries, it will give you 63 grams of fat, or %98 of the average daily fat consumption
^^Based on 2000 calorie diet.

The tobacco companies put in chemicals and designed cigarettes to make them more addictive.

It wasn't like the fast food company put a little crack rock in every burger.

 

[FrancesBeansRevenge]

I am a fat ass whose ass is comprised of more than my fair share of fast food. However, my the size of my ass is solely MY responsibility.
In fact, if McDonald's give me a lifetime supply of thier yummy, artery smokin' BigMacs, I will tesify on behalf of the fast food industry.

I would like to say thank you to all of our processed, fast, food producers for helping me become ALL that I am today.

Canadians get free healthcare I'm not a Canadian though.

healthcare is too fvcking expensive. My dad had a nasty cut on his thumb, went to a hospital and just to have that taken care of costed the insurance company 1000 bucks. a lot of people don't have that much money. I never had a surgery in the US but i'd think it's super expensive.

government can give out loans to the ones who need it the most and have them pay it back in time... full healthcare is BS. We spend most of our healthcare money on the elderly though.

 

[DeschutesCore]

. Why is this even a discussion?

In a country where:
1. It's not my job to raise my children, it's yours'.
2. If I don't like you, I can sue you for no reason, and usually win. (It mostly depends on which one of us has more money)
3. I can strike a police officer on tape, and if he hits me back, I can sue him, and win (Even a court appointed lawyer can win this one)
4. My son can be molested, the bastard has his own wife and daughter testify against him, and he still walks away Scott free. (With Security Clearance no less)
5. I can 'Insert generally known unhealthy habit here' all I want, and then sit back and not only demand the government pays my healthcare, but sue the industry that provided the tools required for the habit, and not have to pay back one red cent of the monies won in said lawsuit.

I'm a smoker, I choose to smoke, and I've smoked since I was ten. I knew it was bad, I know it was bad, and yes, I have quit for an entire year. I CHOSE to start again. No one forced me, and addiction did not have a damned thing to do with it. It's my body, my choice, my responsibility. Not some damned organization or corporation.

If you seriously think we should be able to sue a restaurant or a tobacco company for providing something, go screw yourself and learn some responsibility.

Remember kids, it's supposed to be Buyer Beware, not buyer gets whatever he wants, and more.
