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.

Well anyone who has half a brain knows that McDonalds and fast food are junk food and they make you fat. Every store even has a poster on the wall by their registers with the nutritional information. Is it that hard to figure out that if you stuff yourself with fries and hamburgers everyday that you’re going to get fat? How is that McDonalds fault?
It’s called self control and moderation. I don’t eat that junk because I know what the consequences will be when I get on the scale. I laughed my *ss off when I heard about those lawsuits.
