PILING ON

In a couple stories from the excellent resource foodmarketexchange.com, the evidence is coming in that the first fast food lawsuit is nothing to laugh off, no matter how much Rick Berman wishes he could. Now his ideological ally George W. Bush has had his cabinet demand that fast food companies start fast-foodizing fruits and vegetables, inevitably and not coincidentally replacing large unhealthy amounts of meat in Americans' diet. But even as McDonald's scrambles to cover its filthy derriere and play all "we were planning on going 'healthy' anyway," there's another lawsuit hitting the industry, and this time it's for fat KIDS. Ruh-roh.
