Editorial: Fast Food Lawsuit

So try to understand this. An obese man files a lawsuit against 4 fast-food restaurants, and some Doctor’s group out of Washington, D.C. applauds him. Some how I have to believe these are the same kinds of doctors who support keeping mal-practice information confidential, so as to not injure the reputation of “ good ’’ doctors who might have made “a mistake’’.

I just have to wonder, what ever happened to personal responsibility? Could anyone possibly believe the fast food chains are healthy? Unless you order a salad ( and even then, be wary of most dressings ) you have to know it only tastes good. There is nothing healthy about it. When my customers asks for veggie burgers or the like, I tell ‘em right up front---we are cardiac city. I sell Hot Dogs, Fried Fish and Philly Steaks. Sure, the dogs are grilled, but that doesn’t mean much. We are a throw-back to the 50’s. Back then, I’m not sure cholesterol ( good or bad ) even existed.

The operative word is MODERATION!!! Nothing will kill you if you don’t eat it too often; if you do, you need a shrink, not a lawyer. And by the way, the biggest offenders are the judge who allowed the lawsuit, and the
T.V. talk shows who give this guy free publicity. He and his lawyer both claimed to be doing it for future generations of kids; however, neither was willing to donate the money if they win ( perish the thought ) to healthy causes. What does that tell you about this guy’s character?

Those people who want cradle-to-grave care should go live in Sweden. I thought the founding principle of our country was self reliance. That idea seems to have gotten lost along the way.
