Remember that court case about the women who sued McDonald's for making them fat? The judge threw out the case saying that McDonald's does not force anyone to eat there. Thank God, I was wondering when all the stupidity would end!

I hate fast food. Whenever I got to Mickey D's (which is rarely) i get either a salad or a chicken sandwhicha nd I never finish it but the burgers.... *shudders* so gross.

I'm glad the case was thrown out. I wish some people would learn a little something called PERSONAL RESPONSABILITY!!!

The sad thing is that international McDonald's are required to have signs about their food. Like, I know the ones in India (all two of them!!!) have to have a sign that reads, "Beef is not used at all in any form or shape in our food."

I have a terrible problem, I go to fast food places a little too often and put on weight, but I blame my damn fat SELF for putting on weight. These lard-caked broads should stop trying to make money off corporations that offer the CHOICE of eating junk.

Even tho' I do like Big Macs...the fries n' Coke are murder...

Ack...I'm horrible when it comes to McDonald's. There's one right by my college, so I often get the urge to go there. I usually get a salad.....and then top it off with a sprite and fries. Well, DUH...the soda and fries is going to put the weight on me. So, I have to work it off. That woman should learn a little thing called excercise.....and moderation.

Well, did everyone know why coffee cups fsay "Caution: Contents Are Hot"? Apparently, a woman drove up to McDonald's drive thru and ordered a coffee. She spilled it on herself and got burned. Then, she sued McDonald's for not telling her the coffee was hot and actually won the case. I'm not sure about her, but I know that I've never drank a cup of coffee that was NOT hot (unless it was iced).

I like McDonald's sometimes,but it seems that you have to eat
the food while it's hot in order for it to taste good.

You can sue for anything in America - your legal system is mad!!
I read about a woman who sued a microwave company because she killed her dog by putting it in the microwave to dry it off after it'd been out in a rain shower!! The screwed-up thing is she actually won the case!!! WTF is that all about??? You'd never get away with that in Britain!!!!
