It is that guy from “nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest”.

Again.

It could have been worse, they could have been hit with a fat trans lawsuit.

Center for Science in the Public Interest = Food Nazies and public busy-bodies. I should sue them for trying to prevent me from eating food with transfats.

Meanwhile, data from the National Center for Health Statistics show that Americans are living longer than ever.

Probably need to bring Burger King up on weapons charges too since they are obviously hoding a gun to customers heads to force them to eat their products.

Gotta love when the obese can’t force themselves to stop trans-fats daily. Then what happens? People get sued.

This lawsuit is garbage, but I’m glad I came upon this article. I had no idea that BK was still using trans-fats. No more fried stuff from there for me.

In 2006, Wendy's became the first big fast-food chain to switch away from trans fat.

Wendy's fries taste like water.

By allowing gay marriage, the state of Massachusetts is knowingly increasing its customers' risk of contracting AIDS and early death

By allowing needle distribuion, the city of New York is knowingly increasing its customers' risk of overdosing on illegal drugs, and early death

I really wish someone would sue them for interfering with my/our life/freedoms. This is pure crapola and it started with the tobacco law suits, and now will be applied to everything that might threaten the totally risk free life experience that some seem to expect. Next will be the soft drink industry, good by coke and pepsi, then the greasy snacks we enjoy, good by potato chips.

These nazis must be shut down somehow. I would like to see someone open a restaurant that proudly proclaimed the excessive use of trans-fats, “because it tastes better”.
