    I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but I was watching CNN's crossfire today and saw a lawyer talking about his lawsuits against fast food restaurants . The man was going on and on about how people were being tricked into being fat, even at one point blaming happy meals and playgrounds for luring kids and their parents into these restaurants.

    Now dont get me wrong, I'm not one to support huge corporations , but this is just ridiculous. How can someone NOT know that the greasy, disgusting looking cheeseburgers you are about to consume are going to make you fat ? Take responsibility for your own actions. Is it possible to get addicted to bigmacks (I'm really asling this by the way) ? I mean come on, if you're fat ; eat less and go jogging or walking , or something damnit. Dont blame your problems on other people.



    Here are some stories I found :
