Now, Food is Targeted

At TCS, Duane D. Freese, writes a column titled Food Fantasies:

...if exercise is the key driver rather than food and food marketing, whom do you sue? School districts for cutting back on PE? That's a no win proposition. Where there's no financial gain, there's no blame in CSPI's eyes.

So, in its leaders' world of imagination, Willy Wonka is a vegetable farmer, chocolate frogs turn into broccoli and there's no Candyland. For kids that may be spinach, but for lawyers, it could churn into ice cream.

After the horrible decision was made to make the cigarette companies or Big Tobacco pay the government for health care costs, I knew the next target would be fast food companies or Big Sugar. I've read about a guy in the US who's trying to sue McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, and Wendy's for making him fat. All he needs is a bad judge to put these companies on the spot.
