Very well said, Angeline!

And how would those people ever proof that it's the burgers and fries that made them fat? One, or even two, double-cheeseburgers & fries a day won't make you fat - if that's all one eats. What gets people fat are those burgers, fries, donughts, icecream, cookies, bisquits and gravy, chips, etc. etc. etc., and in that line up - even fruit and veggies add to the daily calorie-overkill.

Next maybe they'll sue the fitness industry for NOT advertising enough to make them actually exercise enough to offset some of the overeating?

Maybe instead courts should declare everybody who claims that "somebody else made them do it" incompetent and assign them a legal guardian until it is determined how capable that person is to deal with responsible living. After all, I surely don't want people that are so incompetent out there driving, voting, and doing other things I wouldn't want a 5-year old to do.
