no
3 Curtis // Jul 4, 2008
No, you should be sued for even thinking of that possibility.
4 casl // Jul 4, 2008
NO. When are we going to start taking responsiblity for the thing we do!
5 juskissme56 // Jul 4, 2008
no!!!!!!!!!!!!! cause you choose what you consume wtf how do you think people loose wieght they choose not to eat everthing in sight!!!!!!!!!!!!
6 Celtix343 // Jul 4, 2008
No, they know eating fast food is bad, that's public knowledge
7 Michael C // Jul 4, 2008
No. Nobody forced them to eat the junk food.
8 Cynthia // Jul 4, 2008
No.
People need to take responsibility for their own actions. It's very "Jerry Springer" to sue others for your own stupidity.
9 Piccolo B // Jul 4, 2008
Of course, not I mean. There are other choices.
10 somuch2tell // Jul 4, 2008
NO! The nutritional Information is on the back! You choose what u put into ur mouth. There not forcing the stuff down ur throat!
11 misscarinne // Jul 4, 2008
No, they did it to themselves. Should Anorexic people be allowed to sue exercize companies when they work out too much? No. It's personal choice.
12 April // Jul 4, 2008
i dont think they should. lol.
But ive never thought of that iether
13 aviv p // Jul 4, 2008
no, they should stop eating.
14 casssssey // Jul 4, 2008
no, I dont believe they should. Its the persons fault if they cant handle eating the correct amounts. Junk food vendors dont force you to buy their snacks and what not, its your fault and yours only.
15 Nicki32 // Jul 4, 2008
No. The choice is up to the individual.
16 slickmickeygal // Jul 4, 2008
no. you have complete control over what you put in your body.
17 Jenny B // Jul 4, 2008
I think not. The vendors didn't force-feed them. There's a big label that says "nutrition facts", so they can't claim they didn't know how fattening the foods would be.
18 Jules // Jul 4, 2008
No, they should be forced to get a gym membership and go at least 3x's a week!!!!
19 Robert P // Jul 4, 2008
no but thin Americans should be able to sue Fat Americans for the rise in costs associated to medical insurance
20 confused_man // Jul 4, 2008
No i don think so because IT IS their choice to choose eating junk food and they do know the contents of the junk foods so it's actually their choice whether to live healthily or unhealthy and they chose the unhealthy way.Nobody can force them if they don wanna eat
21 lil_twisted // Jul 4, 2008
No. We all have a choice.
22 Scots Pines // Jul 4, 2008
No. People are protected once by the AFDA and after that, they are on their own.
Are you a lawyer?

23 little_one // Jul 4, 2008
No they have their own freedom of choice if they want to eat or not!!! even though they, the person serving and everyone in the place knows they shouldnt have it, the only person who could stop them, is themselves..
24 Philip McCrevice // Jul 4, 2008
I think the government should give overweight people money to finance diet programs. And lipo.
After all, nobody else is held responsible for their actions (home buyers, unemployed, etc).
I think the government should use your tax money and pay me some green!
25 Jen S // Jul 4, 2008
no, not at all.
26 Tina // Jul 4, 2008
No. They knew the food was bad for them and assumed the risk when they ate it. There are also other factors besides just food that go into a person being overweight. Sometimes it's genetics or inactivity or both. The junk food vendors aren't responsible for that.
27 missyvixen1217 // Jul 4, 2008
No, the sue happy people are ridiculous…no one MADE you eat that hamburger or those super large fries and you havde known for 20 years that they were bad for you….this is whats wrong with the world and the younger generations these days, there is NO accountability anymore.
28 Hayley N // Jul 4, 2008
well no i think thats just stupid but junk food vendors should have certain limits imposed on them. it's gotta be hard for very over weight people, junk food is so cheap when compared to healthy food that tastes horrible and its a hard cycle to break.
29 Katie Wojo // Jul 4, 2008
No, I blame my fat a$$ on myself!
30 iluvreesespbcups // Jul 4, 2008
no. I am an overweight person and I don't think we should be able to sue junk food companies for that. I mean it's for most of us our own fault that we got this way. I've actually been this way my whole life, but I dont blame it on the food companies they don't control what I eat. It's based on how you are taught to eat and how you let yourself eat all the bad stuff. You can eat junk food, but just not in large amounts. You just have to limit yourself to what you eat when it comes to eating junk.
31 Bridey // Jul 4, 2008
No. This would be a frivilous lawsuit. The junk food vendor doesn't MAKE you go to the vending machine and get the Twinkies to eat that make you fat. Just like with cigarettes, people know they're bad, they know the consequences, so if they choose to indulge, it's their problem, not the fault of the cigarette company.
Unlike cigarettes, however, eating a Twinkie now and then isn't going to do much to you if you exercise and have a balanced diet otherwise. It's more about the individual than about the company.
No specific sources….just education and common knowledge.
32 Daniel L // Jul 4, 2008
no way! it's their fault that they eat crap like that not the other way around. the vendors are just making a living, and the obese people are letting themselves become who they are. their not 7 seven years old, they need to take responsability for their actions, not push it into somebody elses lap, and say it's their fault
33 Skitt123 // Jul 4, 2008
YES!
(I just wanted to be the only guy who said yes.) LOL
34 Debbie B // Jul 4, 2008
It is time for Americans to start taken responsibilities for their actions and stop blaming every one else. There are to many stupid law suits now.
35 Lyndsey P // Jul 4, 2008
No way! This makes about as much sense as the judge who tried suing the dry cleaners MILLIONS of dollars over one pair of pants. Whatever happened to realizing that shit happens, taking responsibility for your actions, and just being a decent citizen? Some folks are so greedy these days that they see a 'loophole' if things aren't spelled out from start to finish or if someone isn't holding their hand the whole way.
Sue them though, if they come to your house and traumatize you in anyway. I'd say that's your right.
36 SDD // Jul 4, 2008
Yes unless you think that people can actually control how they behave and what make their own decsions.
37 adribug354 // Jul 4, 2008
Absolutely not. The problem with this country is a lack of accountability. Sure, fast food companies, junk food vendors, etc will do all they can to make their product look appetizing and irrestistable. We still have to ultimately be responsible for our own actions.
38 Karen // Jul 4, 2008
Absolutely not; it's one's choice to eat Doritos instead of carrots and lean chicken. What's next…a Surgeon General's warning on a package of Oreos? People should stop blaming others and start fixing themselves.
39 lamandalee_2001 // Jul 4, 2008
In my personal opinion NO! Overweight Americans have the choice to eat healthy and monitor what goes in their mouth. I think blaming "junk food vendors" is just an excuse, so that individual doesn't have to "face the music" and acknowledge they are to blame for their weight issues. Junk food vendors are not the ones feeding us - we make those choices ourselves. If you know what the problem is (in this case fast food, junk food, etc) stop consuming them!! A change in diet and good exercise will help. I understand that it is difficult for overweight people to find motivation because they are, respectfully in many ways lazy, but it only takes the first step - that's the hardest. Everything gets easier after that initial step. Lets start taking the blame for our self instead of pointing fingers, because that isn't going to change - we have to!!

yes. McDonalds would be a good choice to sue. If the people suing have proof and a good argument then definitely. maybe, junk food vendors advertised to them to eat there all the time, and when they did they started gaining weight and having health problems. But it's also their fault for not being responsible and making healthy choices. However, fast food restaurants suck people in while their food is bad for you. It's junk! Most places don't even have the nutrition facts listed so you can see them, and many of them don't even have them in the store! Everyone has the right to sue. There was a case suing McDonald's on behalf of 2 overweight girls a while ago. They should be allowed to sue, but the outcome of the case is up to the judge, jury, lawyers, etc. Junk food vendors are harming everyone.
41 southwest_punk_87701 // Jul 4, 2008
No they shouldn't. Most people are aware that "junk food" or fast food is bad for them, yet they choose to eat it knowing the potential health risks involved.
More to the point, eating fast food and junk food alone don't contribute to being overweight. Other factors include heredity (does being overweight run in the family), other health issues and how often one exercises and what else they eat.
They sue these companies because they have deep pockets, and their easy targets. Moreover, perhaps psychologically they feel bad or are embarrassed about their weight, but if they can blame someone else instead of taking personal responsibility for themselves then somehow it's not their fault and it's okay. Either way its B.S. and they should have no legal grounds for a lawsuit.
42 average Joe // Jul 4, 2008
Fast food is meant to be a convenience , for when you are out or don't have time to prepare your own . It is not meant to be the major part of your diet. If a person decides to do so then they have to bear responsibility for their actions.
That said ,They have a right to sue , I just don't think they should be awarded anything.
Next thing you know ,people will be suing for pouring hot coffee on themselves .
43 ♥ hOnEy ♥ // Jul 4, 2008
no.
not unless if they want to be laughed at at court.
for instance, if ur overweight, why do u still keep on eating junkfoods when it could only make it worse.
common sense.
44 niteowlpet // Jul 4, 2008
NO! the vendors do not MAKE the people buy and eat the product. They do that all on their own! It is kind of like suing the cigarette companies for smokers. they smoke for many years, then when they develop lung cancer, the family wants to blame the manufacturers - or the government for not closing down the factories! It should not be allowed on grounds of frivolousness!
45 bobbyampm // Jul 4, 2008
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
The more you eat the more fat you put on. Simple as that! Ask your fatty friend to cut down on his burgers and see if he's not going to get rid off some fatty.
Instead of super sizing your meal why not down sizing it!
46 T // Jul 4, 2008
No, our litigious society needs to be checked. Make people resonsible for their own actions. Suits should only be brought in cases of gross negligence and deceptive practice.
And as for suing fat people for rising health costs, why not add smokers, drinkers, and people who multi-task while driving to the list. (Lots of sarcasm implied here.)
47 my avatar is hot but Im not // Jul 4, 2008
Free choice has factored in to every court decision regarding bad choices by consumers, the court has ruled consistantly that given choices people are free to make good or bad, and thus the purveyor of the goods is not liable for the results if they are following govt. guidelines already in place (listing contents, calories, etc.)
48 Al // Jul 4, 2008
Yes. For two reasons. First of all you haven't mentioned what they should be able to sue them for. If they are given food poisoning from junk food then why shouldn't they be able to?
Secondly, on the issue of people becoming overweight from Mcdonalds, comparisons can be drawn with US tobacco litigation such as the Engle case in florida which resulted in $145bn punitive damages on the basis that Phillip Morris produced a dangerous and defective product. Although this award was overturned on appeal it does show that the courts are open to such a challenge and I can see no logical reason why the fast food industry should not be open to a similar challenge.
Yes I am well aware that people make their own choices and should have the right to choose but this does not negate the fact that any company selling a consumer product which will potentially kill its customers should be open to litigation. You cannot base the legality of a product upon the personal autonomy of its potential customers.

NO, its their fault that they are fat, no one elses
