Big Fat Law Suit

It seems an obese man in New York is attempting to sue four fast food restaurants because eating their food made him fat.

5-foot-10 and 272 pound Caesar Barber filed suit against McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King and Kentucky Fried Chicken. He claims he thought the advertisement of these companies that their products are '100 percent beef' meant that they are good for you (no explanation of where KFC fits into that).

He further explained that the restaurants do not tell their patrons exactly what's in the food, saying, "It's all fat, fat and more fat. Now I'm obese."

His lawyer, Samuel Hirsch, said the restaurants should list ingredients on their menus, despite the fact that the four chains have been providing nutritional information, including calorie and fat content, of their meals for years.

Now, the real question is whether this law suit will ever make it out of the clerk's office. If this actually goes to trial it will open up an avenue for law suits like we can't even imagine.

One thing is for certain, though, if, by some bizarre circumstance Mr. Barber wins his case, you will pay for his settlement every time you buy a cheeseburger.
