AR-News: (US-pa)Gil Spencer: Two burgers, fries and a lawsuit to go, please

[Animalconcerns]

[opinion from Delaware County Times]

The McDonald’s restaurant in Media was jumping at lunch time yesterday.
The parking lot was full and the drive-in line was six cars long when I
pulled in. Inside, the lines at the registers were five deep but moving
nicely. The employees were hustling, filling orders and taking them.

I was not there to eat, though I was hungry. I was there for research
purposes.

I’m thinking of joining a class-action lawsuit against McDonald’s. Its
food is helping to make me overweight. You might not know it to look at
me, but I am, especially in the "love-handle" department.
...
Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to ban class-action
lawsuits against fast-food joints like Micky D’s. But the ban won’t become
law until the Senate also passes the bill and the president signs it. And
even then we can well expect lawyers to litigate the constitutionality of
such a ban.
...
McDonald’s has already settled one multi-million-dollar class-action case
involving its fries. It once referred to them on their "vegetarian" menu
when, in reality, they were fried in a combination oil that included beef
fat. Vegans and their lawyers were outraged and put a stop to that deception.
