This is one step further into oblivion for the human race. I'd like to see some of the tank-asses involved with filing this suit. Apparently, they weren't aware KFC fried chicken is bad for you and will make you fat. Who knew?!

Lard-asses sue over fried chicken

trans fat is bad for everybody. I do see the merits of this lawsuit.
I guess I won't be eating at KFC until they start using other type of oil.

hey dumbshit, it is a consumer group, not "fat people."

The main issue here is that if we let the market only offer unhealthy options, it is very tough for people to avoid them. If the market offers healthy options, the people in that market will benefit. If KFC was selling chicken that caused cancer, would you be talking about the "baldies suing over cancer again?"

I don't eat at fast food places. But I don't have any problem with someone trying to knock some sense into them.

It's real easy for consumers to stop eating at fast food places, no one is forcing anyone to eat that garbage. They just need to take some personal responsibility for their condition.

LOL, like KFC forces me to buy fried chicken. It's a conspiracy, I tell you.

In a free-market economy, this sounds like a perfect opportunity for someone to step up and fill the void. If there is a demand for healthy food, then there should be people willing to supply it (for a price).

I thought a law was passed that did not allow people to sue fast food places for frivolous lawsuits like this one
