Replying to Should We Sue?

Should we sue?Should We Sue?

This question always confuses me, most people say that we shouldn't sue because although it is making a large population of the world obese it is also our fault that we decide to eat it rather than healthy food.On the other hand others say that we should sue because it is ruining our way of life.My take on this is that although it is our choice to eat this food, it doesn't mean that McDonald's or other fast food companies/restaurants can't lower the amount of fat and unhealthy things that are inside the things we eat, many places such as McDonald's have tried to release things likr salad although when a cheeseburger is on the menu who is going to choose the salad over the burger.This is why I think that the way of life of some people (I.E mostly Americans as most people say) but instead we should reduce the calories in things such as burgers & chips and replace the high fat burgers with something equally as tasty but less fattening.___________________________________________________________________________I'm a bit on the fence about this question.-reply by Luke

 

As many others say, you are the one responsible for eating too much high-fat food, not McDonalds. They merely make it availible for you, they don't force you to eat their food. It's all down to the greed of many people, as in this world, it seems many americans, and increasingly people of other countries, are suing for the purpose of getting money, not real compensation.

No - It comes down to the matter of choice and free will. It is your choice to eat at McDonalds or any other fast food place. There are healthier options and most people have knowledge that the food is not healthy for them. And if they don't it's nothing more than a less intense version of somebody wanting to sue a paint company after trying to drink paint.

The same goes for cigarette companies, tanning beds, etc...

When people start blaming and shoving responsibility off on others for their actions is the point at which people should not be given free reign over their own life and choices. And I don't think that's a fair trade-off.

I think No you should not sue them you pick to eat the food so you cant sue for some thing you picked to eat

Anyone who is out to sue a fast food restaurant for their weight gain needs to find a hobby! It doesn't take a genius to figure out it's not a place to eat 4 or 5 days a week.
I take my children there about once every 3 months and it's a real treat for them. Anything in moderation is not harmful.

if you've noticed, they dont really advertise their fatty foods, its all about their salads and tick of approval meals now. even to kids with happy meals they dont advertise the fatty burgers, nuggets and fries. its all about the fruit bag and orange juice and pasta zoo and that stuff.

they arent forcing anyone to eat the bad stuff, they arent advertising it much either.

Umm..NO. It's the customer's own fault for eating there. If they don't want to get obese, they can always eat somewhere else. It's like if you try to draw. If you can't draw, you can't sue the pencil company because you bought a product that you can't use. It's not their fault you can't draw. It simply makes no sense. No one is forcing these customers to eat at McDonalds. Personally, I think McChoke and Puke is a disgusting place to eat at. Burger King is much better and everything isn't as greasy as McDonalds.

Don't sue, just laugh really, REALLY hard. And tape a sign on the door (visable from the outside) that says "welcome to McLard".

This is something I hate about Americans (sorry guys), you can sue someone for about everything ... it wouldn't surprise you can even sue someone for breathing . Why should we sue McDonalds ? Are they forcing you to eat their fat meals (and btw. McDo doesn't only serve food containing a lot of fat), are they forcing you to even enter their buildings ? I didn't think so, so sueing them for you being fat because they serve fat food is like sueing Canon because you look ugly on the photos their cameras make ...

Kinda funny you know, you live in a free country and yet you can't say no to McDo ...

just thought that id raise the point it could be the super size thing.

were getting it here in australia next year or something.

but sueing them, u could country sue (lol if theres such thing) but 1 person sueing for the whole of america?
