Oh, temptation
If only fast-food were truly
addictive
If only fast-food were truly addictive
Oh, temptation
If only fast-food were truly addictive
LAST week, Caesar Barber of New York filed class-action lawsuit
against McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Burger King and Wendy's,
four of the world's biggest fast-food chains. His claim was that they were
responsible for his obesity and poor health. According to his lawyer, fastfood had created a "craving" in his hapless client, who was blissfully
unaware, until his doctor told him, that consuming huge piles of burgers,
fries and milkshakes was not actually good for his health.
Such an absurd lawsuit may have been inevitable as soon as the big
tobacco settlements began burning a hole in trial lawyers' pockets. But
there is a catch: fast-food is not addictive. It does not, as a matter of fact,
create a real physical craving, because it contains no substance that
could induce one.
The Economist suggests that this should now change. Consider the
plight of the poor plaintiffs. They must prove that they were
physiologically compelled to consume fast-food, against the weight of
scientific evidence and the dictates of common sense. Then there are
the millions more who indulge in the stuff, but who would feel much
better about themselves if they knew they had been suborned into doing
so. Through the simple introduction of minute amounts of cocaine or
nicotine into their wares, fast-food companies could improve the lot of
such folk in future. (The Economist)
