yeah yeah
Below is a news report that was on my front page mail of AOL. I personally think it is wrong for them to have a lawsuit filled against the one and only largest fast food chain in the world.
I personally think that it should not be blamed on the franchise, it should be blamed on the parents who allow their children to consume this food on a daily basis or more than one time a week. It is the not franchises fault that these children are obese. They dont FORCE the children to go there. 
Also, they need to go and look at other factors too. (ie: such as, tyroid disease, portion control, fat control, etc)
So therefore, as my rant is coming to a end, I am one who will throw the towel in on this one, for being as ridiculous as that 'hot coffee' lawsuit that happened a few years back with mc'donalds.:hohum:

Are Big Macs hazardous to children's health?
Lawyers have filed a class-action lawsuit against McDonald's on behalf of New York children who have suffered health problems, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity.
In federal court in Manhattan on Wednesday, a lawyer alleged that the fast-food chain has created a national epidemic of obese children. Samuel Hirsch argued that the high fat, sugar and cholesterol content of McDonald's food is ''a very insipid, toxic kind of thing'' when ingested regularly by young kids.
The plaintiffs include a Bronx teen who ate every meal at McDonald's for three years while living in a homeless shelter. Another is a 13-year-old boy from Staten Island who says he ate at McDonald's food three to four times a week and is now 5-foot-4 and 278 pounds.
McDonald's lawyer Brad Lerman insisted the lawsuit was a frivolous attempt to cash in on the Golden Arches, ''the kind of lawsuit that shouldn't be in court.''
''People don't go to sleep thin and wake up obese,'' Lerman said. ''The understanding and comprehension of what hamburgers and french fries do has been with us for a long, long time.''
McDonald's has asked Judge Robert Sweet to dismiss the case, arguing those who filed the claims cannot show their health woes were caused by Big Macs and insisting the company has never misled customers about its food. The judge did not immediately rule on the request.

Now, that's better.
