I was there because I was hungry and it was the lesser of all evils....it was connected to a Quick Trip and I needed gas and Wendy's has good salads. Yes the parents were totally at fault for setting a poor example and feeding the kid all of the wrong things and not telling him about restraint and greed. I am with the lawyer...if that is what it takes to get the general publics attention, so be it. Something needs to shock the fatties as well as the enablers. There is no reason for super size or biggie....and put the litte order of fries back on the menu. Pandering is a crime in relation to sex...why not food? Fat people are just going to cost money in the future. They are going to have more health problems and mental issues...personally I don't want to pay more in insurance for anothers food addiction or resulting health problems. Getting off their colletive butts and walking would be a start !!!

I guess we are going to have to agree to disagree on this.

You are concerned about paying for others' food addictions and health problems - regardless of the outcome of these type frivolous lawsuits you are going to be the one paying for it anyway through higher costs.If for one minute you think those being sued are going to be paying the costs of these suits, you are wearing rose colored glasses.

Because of the parties involved here, I foresee the same thing happening to the fast food industry (McDonald's Wendy's Burger King, etc) that happened to the tobacco companies 5 years ago. To make them go away the industry will settle the suits and get an agreement where they are permitted to pass 100% of the pact along to ALL of their customers.

Glad to see that you are of such high character that you can judge the rest of society and wish for your standards to be legislated through judicial action.

What you fail to realize is that it won't stop with the FF industry. It will be occuring in every type of enjoyment that we have. Soon the after church roast you enjoy will be taxed and sued to a point you will not be able to afford it!

Insufficient sleep leads to health problems; do you support courts or government setting your bedtime?
