McDonald's to pay $8.5 million in trans fat lawsuit

I thought some of you may find this funny. Check it out:

http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/02/11/transfats.settlement.reut/index.html

Sorry if it offends anyone.

Edited to link directly to article.

one of the links is from CNN about a lawsuit with McDonalds. Plus, I wasn't sure where else to post.

Ok well the article wasn't there when I visited before. Anyways just copy the link to the CNN story, we don't need the link to the web blog.

I personally think the lawsuit was good. Companies should use products free of trans fat and they should inform their customers whether they do so or not. And you can't just say, oh well they should know. Unless a product says it is trans fat free, or inidicates that it has trans fat, there's no way of knowing if it is there or not.

Also, the settlement was $7 million to the American Heart Association. What's so bad about that? The guy got $7500 for his site, so you can hardly say he did it for personal gain.
