Let's hold on a second here, folks. While I agree that personal responsibility has fallen by the wayside and that there is a fair amount of frivolity out there, I'm not entirely convinced those suits against McDonald's for the fat content in their food were outlandish. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they become more common in years to come. There is a lot of deception going on about what is actually in our food, not only at fast-food joints but also in the stuff we buy a the supermarket, and since the regulatory agencies have done a piss-poor job of managing that, it will be up to the courts.
Before you start whining about lawsuits and decrying their outcome, think about why they happen. It usually comes down to lack of leadership in the first place.
