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 ...

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
