I agree that its up to us to make our choices, and that gov. should stay out. I also think its crazy when people sue mickyDs because they got fat. However, I do find one thing a bit disturbing. Not a lot of people know that a lot of these fast food places put some crazy things in their food that leads to bad health on purpose out of greed. I wonder how many people know that McDs puts in a chemical that causes the body to shut off a switch so to speak that tells you when you are full. To me that is disturbing, and may warrant a lawsuit if they are putting items in their food, that causes these reactions. Most people have no clue as to what is actually in these fast foods. Its a lot worse than you might think, and can cause many health issues.
As far as anyone saying bananas causes you to get fat, that is a load of nonsense. Bananas are rich in potassium and have fiber, among other things that are good for you. I could understand if you ate five bananas right before you went to bed every night, but who does that?
