'Cheeseburger Bill' Passes House

(Washington) By a margin of 306 to 120, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a measure which would ban obesity-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. The bill was initiated to counter lawsuits filed by avaricious trial lawyers trying to blame food makers and restaurants for what some fat asses put in their mouths. Cases involving deceptive advertising or misrepresentation are not affected by the legislation. A similar bill is pending in the Senate.

In my opinion, the 120 congressmen who voted against the bill should be asked to justify their votes. It is ludicrous to expect businesses to be able to control and be responsible for the quantity of food people eat.
