Should people be allowed to sue fast food restaurants for causing obesity?

[Toughmountain760]

No one is forcing anyone to buy fast food or cigarettes. As long as people demand it, they will supply it.

I studied the latter case in my law class. That woman deserved the money because the hot coffee burned and severely damaged her genital area. She suffered 3rd degree burns, that coffee was WAY too hot, it was over the boiling temperature. By the way, she got the contingency fee deal with her lawyers and McDonald's appealed. So, the 23 million was greatly reduced and with the contingency fee, the lawyers' paid for their research with the money and on top of that got 1/3 of what was left, so she barely got any of that money.
