If you are fat you can't sue. Finally, some sanity in the great obesity debate! Ever since a consumer tried a few years back to sue McDonalds because of their inability to abstain from overindulging on a diet of burgers and fires, any body literally that comes in contact with food, either by manufacturing it, selling it, preparing it or even serving it could be the target of some absurd obesity lawsuit. (better think twice before you make that fellow another double mocha with whipped cream). While most of us see the silliness in these suits, attorneys have been chasing the fast food companies with the fervor they once reserved for ambulances. Now some states are crying "enough" and passing bills baring lawyers and their clients from receiving settlements simply over the size of their girth. Texas State Representative Corbin Van Arsdale is the latest in a group of 15 states, with a "Texas size provision that would even protect farmers from obesity suits . The measure is pending in the house and you can bet there will be a few "dinners" on the house if it passes. I'm Susan Allen and this is Food Forethought.
