Okay. This is just absolutely ridiculous. I’m all for improving yourself and not degrading and making fun of someone who’s fat.. but but but but.. :mad:
** Overweight teens can sue over their unhappy meals **
A federal judge has ruled that the McDonald’s-made-me-fat lawsuit - now in its fourth year - can lumber on.
The suit alleges the fast-food giant made two hefty teens fat and sickly with deceptive advertising that made them think its food was nutritionally beneficial and part of a healthy lifestyle if eaten daily.
Jazlyn Bradley, 19, carries 270pounds on his 5-foot-6 frame while Ashley Pelman, 14, of the Bronx, stands 4-feet-10 and weighs 140.
McDonald’s claimed the complaint should be tossed out because the teens failed to substantiate their claims
But in his ruling, Judge Robert Sweet said their suit could continue because they had “sufficiently described” the injuries they suffered - “obesity, hypertension and elevated levels of LDL cholesterol” - and specified which ads were “materially deceptive.”
The judge limited their allegations to 40 ads, but said more could be added for “good cause shown.”
He gave McDonald’s 30 days to answer the complaint.

Mota people as well as the food industry both shud take the blame.
The food industry should be held resposible for selling people unhealthy rather disease causing food. The choclates, icecreams, donuts and all that has ruined lives of millions of people.
If you exonerate food industry then you shud not blame drug dealers as well, they tooo are just selling their product, its up to the buyer to refrain if he wants to.
I do say that the fast food industry is selling unhealthy food but they are not as guilty as the drug dealers. This fast food is not addictive, it is your choice. If some kids are hooked on drugs they have to go into some kind of a drug clinic to get rid of the habit whereas you can just say no to fast food.
This kind of behavior of “I am a victim because they made me fat” is stupid because these people are still eating fast food. Where is personal responsibility?
Just like drug addicts have craving for drug, similarly, fat people develop craving for food. And how can one blame those little kidz that have been addicted to choclates from a young age. The food industry utilizes all dirty means to make bucks, like offering choclates for change at counters, putting choclates at the lowest counters where they can be picked by toddlers etc.
They have even intimidated scientists have wanted a 10% cap of refined sugar on daily calories.
Do you not know that treating obesity is harder than treating drug addicts. People have had their jaws wired, yet they do not loose weight ,coz they just consume ice creams and sodas.
These people in food industry know that what they selling is harmful, yet they do it, for me they are not any different than drug dealers.
Awe, I am sorry that you do not understand the difference between drug and food addiction. Sympathy…so what is your position? Fast food is bad? How about a government that let this fast food exists? How about the adult entertainment industry? Jeez everyone is at fault except these fat people because it is Mac Donald’s.
Try to understand what self control is. Not every fat kid remains as such there are many who understand discipline and healthy eating so they take control of their lives and do not sue a fast food place for it.
Next time people will sue Gupshup because it wastes time and kids are failing in their classes.
..allah k naam pe kuch ponds dai do,please:( …
