A group of overweight Americans have sued several US fast food giants accusing them of knowingly serving meals that cause obesity and disease.

I can't even muster a wiseass remark about the shear stupidity and lack of self-awareness the subjects of this article radiate. For the love of sweet Christ, how the hell does one eat at McDonald's and not feel the arteries harden? Having battled my own weight problems, I can tell you how hard it is to find food that won't expand your wasteline. Here's a hint: stop patronizing fast food restaurants.
Jesus f*cking Christ in a pink sweater in July, this is the very definition of inane.

True, but tobacco is generally considererd more addictive than BigMacs[tm].

The difference is that the tobacco companies lied for years about *how* dangerous cigarettes were. I don't know of the answer is to sue for your cancer, but certainly some action should be taken against their fraud.

In addition, the tobacco companies manipulated nicotine levels specifically to increase the addictiveness of their product. I don't think the case of fast food is parallel.
