| BugerKing and McDonalds back in court with another group sueing them. This time about the fried potatos (french fries).
Also a defendant is a snack called Sringles (I think it is a potato chip?).
But most alarming among them listed as harmful to our health is Cheerios.
According to the lawyers each of these products violate federal law. I got this on the radio and so have no other links or places to tell you about where you can go to get this information.
So this report is based on my hear-say only.
They add this chemical that is known to cause cancer in doeses above federal limits. Forgot name of that chemical. The federal regulation allows only so much to be in drinking water per glass. These products contain three times the amount as what is allowed in the drinking water, when measured out properly.
By now most people understand that fast food are not the most healthy things you can eat. But my surprise was Cheeios because it is promoted as a health food because oats are lower the risks of a heart attack.
The only thing debatable about this story is as follows.
Should lawyers be allowed to bring class action suits if a company is making a product that is know under state or federal regulations to be a health hazard for some people? (They get to pocket some of the cash if they win the case). Or, should they not just ask the government to enforce the written laws? And IS the government really getting the job done trying too regulate everyone with limited budgets and manpower resources. Should the government get bigger in that area or should we just let lawyers have a field day with this problem. Or should we have no regulations and let food producers feed us any kind of crap they want? Or - some other idea?
