I think this is great. I know these dudes. Eat a lot of snacks etc. and then after school, sit and play games at the PC. And now we're all supposed to pay against lawsuits cause gamers are getting fat. Well hello, get off your butts and really play a game or surf or something.


Sen. Bill Blocks Weight-Related Lawsuits

WASHINGTON (AP) -- If too many burgers and fries have left your waistline super-sized, don't expect a sweet pay-off in court, senators said Thursday. A bill would prevent people from suing restaurants and food manufacturers for making them fat.

"I think it's important not to blame poor eating habits on someone else," said Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and the sponsor of the bill.

The measure would block lawsuits related to obesity or weight gain, but not suits charging other kinds of injury or fraud. It is similar to one already introduced in the House.

Thank God for common sense.

Ignorant lazy people like someone else to blame, if I still smoked and developed lung cancer in 30 years I'd know who to blame, myself.

I think that slimming and good food should not be so expensive compared to the fatty alternative though.
