McDonald’s ‘Toxic Food’ Lawsuit
Yesterday a class-action lawsuit was filed against McDonaldís claiming the chain has created a national epidemic of obese children.
Lawyer Samuel Hirsch argued that the high fat, sugar and cholesterol content of McDonald’s food is “a very insipid, toxic kind of thing” when ingested regularly by young kids. This Ap/Cnn article has more on the story. See also Adbusters #44.
