The obesity lawsuits against McDonald’s are stupid, since McDonald’s food isn’t any more fattening than lots of upscale restaurants. I lost weight while eating at, and working at, McDonalds, as have some other people (a man in Richmond lost 86 pounds eating at McDonalds).
The new healthcare law will make it harder for many employers (perhaps including McDonald’s) to avoid unnecessary employee-benefits litigation over healthcare coverage.
