Yet another fatty lawsuit. This time the parents of two teenagers are suing McDonalds for serving fatty food. John Banzhaf, and adviser on the case actually cites the shameful advertising to children in the form of irresistible playgrounds, happy meals with toys in them, and promotions tied to popular movies. "Children clearly are not capable of making health-related decisions," he said. "McDonald's tries to attract children and has an obligation to them."

Satiracle newspaper, The Onion, 'reported' on a similar lawsuit against 'Big Chocolate' back in August, 2000. "If you knowingly sell products that cause obesity, you will pay," cites the Onion article. Hershey's "knowingly and willfully marketing rich, fatty candy bars containing chocolate and other ingredients of negligible nutritional value." They were also found guilty of "marketing products to children, and artificially 'spiking' their products with such substances as peanuts, crisped rice, and caramel to increase consumer appeal."
